Paragraph Number

223

At this stage a surgeon can resect the tibia 224 and/or the fibula 226 in which ever order desired. By resecting using a cutting tool in the resection features 1022 of the distal tibia resection guide 1420a and distal fibula resection guide 1410a a matching closing anterior wedge can be removed from both the tibia 224 and the fibula 226. Once the distal tibia resection guide 1420a and/or distal fibula resection guide 1410a are positioned and secured, the resection can be done with minimal concern that the resections will be different from those planned preoperatively.
