Content
For example, in one embodiment, patient imaging data can be used to define a distance between at a top edge (e.g., superior side 914) of a resection guide (e.g., resection guide 820a, resection guide 820b, resection guide 820c) and a first surface (e.g., a surface of a first bone such as a medial cuneiform) or a bottom edge (e.g., an inferior side 916). Managing the distance between a top edge and a bone surface or bottom edge is one way to provide a stop within the resection guide. The stop can serve to limit how deep a surgeon will resect hard tissue/soft tissue when using the resection guide for a procedure. If a surgeon resects until the resection instruments engages the stop, the surgeon can be assured that the resection extends to a desired depth (not too far and not too short).
