FIGS. 17A-17B illustrate views performing an osteotomy using an example pivot resection guide on a calcaneus bone, according to one embodiment. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that the example pivoting resection guide 1002 and/or pivoting resection guide 1502 are simply examples and that a pivoting resection guide can be used for a variety of osteotomies on a variety of bones. As another example, a pivoting resection guide can be used for resection of a calcaneus 224. Alternatively, or in addition, pivoting resection guide can be used for resection of a femur, a humerus, a radius, an ulna, a phalange, a phalanx, or other bone of a person or animal. FIG. 17A illustrates an osteotomy system 1700 that includes a pivoting resection guide 1702 for use in resecting a calcaneus 224. In one embodiment, the pivoting resection guide 1702 may include patient-specific features. In another embodiment, the pivoting resection guide 1702 does not include patient-specific features. FIG. 17B illustrates superior perspective view of an osteotomy system 1700 that includes a pivoting resection guide 1702 for use in resecting a calcaneus 224.
