Content
In addition, the body 900 of the resection guide 820c includes a bone engagement surface (not visible in FIG. 13). The bone engagement surface may span the inferior side 916 of the body 1110. Advantageously, the bone engagement surface includes a patient-specific surface that includes a contour that mirrors a contour of a plurality of bones. The patient-specific surface is defined at least in part using a bone model 404 of at least one bone of the patient’s foot. The bone engagement surface is on a bone-facing surface of the body 900 when the resection guide 820c is in use. The bone engagement surface assists a surgeon in positioning the resection guide 820c in the same or substantially the same position as predetermined using a model of the resection guide 820c and/or one or more models of one or more bones of the patient.
