In the illustrated embodiment, the distal fibula resection guide 1410a may include one or more of the same or similar features as the distal tibia resection guide 1420a. Thus, the distal fibula resection guide 1410a may include a resection feature 1022, a proximal bone attachment feature 1058, a distal bone attachment feature 1060, and/or an alignment guide 1046. In one embodiment, the resection features 1022 is configured to align with and enable resection of a wedge in the fibula 226 that corresponds to the wedge to be resected from the tibia 224. The proximal bone attachment feature 1058 and/or distal bone attachment feature 1060 enable the distal fibula resection guide 1410a to be secured to the fibula 226. The alignment guide 1046 enables a surgeon to confirm that the distal fibula resection guide 1410a is aligned with a longitudinal axis of the fibula 226 (in the illustrated embodiment the fastener 1010 is omitted for clarity).
