FIG. 14 illustrates an exemplary system 1400, according to one embodiment. The system 1000 may include a distal fibula resection guide 1410a, distal tibia resection guide 1420a, and may include one or more other complementary components 930. As explained above, the distal tibia resection guide 1420a can include a bone engagement surface 1026 configured to engage a medial surface of a first bone (e.g., tibia 224), one or more bone attachment features 1024 configured to couple the distal tibia resection guide 1420a to the first bone (e.g., tibia 224), one or more resection features 1022, and an alignment guide 1046 configured to orient the distal tibia resection guide 1420a relative to a longitudinal axis 1412 of the first bone (e.g., tibia 224). As explained more below, the distal fibula resection guide 1410a may include a bone engagement surface 1026 configured to engage a lateral surface of a second bone (e.g., fibula 226, in certain embodiments the distal fibula resection guide 1410a may not include a bone engagement surface 1026), one or more bone attachment features 1024 configured to couple the distal fibula resection guide 1410a to the second bone (e.g., fibula 226), one or more resection features 1022, and an alignment guide 1046 configured to orient the distal fibula resection guide 1410a relative to a longitudinal axis 1422 of the second bone (e.g., fibula 226).
