FIG. 14C illustrates a close-up posterior perspective view of the tibia 224 and fibula 226 with both the distal tibia resection guide 1420a and the distal fibula resection guide 1410a secured to the bones. The proximal bone attachment feature 1058 and distal bone attachment feature 1060 are also illustrated. The resection features 1022 is visible. The one or more landmark registration features 1028 can be seen. In one embodiment, the landmark registration features 1028 is just large enough to serve its registration and/or placement function but no larger. Advantageously, a smaller and thinner landmark registration features 1028 can enable a surgeon to more readily confirm proper positioning and placement of the distal tibia resection guide 1420a on the bone surface. FIG. 14C also illustrates the distal fibula resection guide 1410a coupled to the fibula 226.
