Paragraph Number

226

In the illustrated embodiment, the distal fibula resection guide 1410a may also include one or more landmark registration features 1028. However, those of skill in the art will appreciate that the fibula 226 has a very smooth lateral surface and thus offers few landmarks to facilitate positioning the distal fibula resection guide 1410a intraoperatively in a desired position and/or position called for in the intraoperative plan and/or as desired by the surgeon. Advantageously, the present disclosure provides one or more solutions that enable desired and/or proper placement of the distal fibula resection guide 1410a, even where few landmarks are present on the bone (e.g., the fibula 226). FIGs. 15A-C illustrate one example of a solution according to one embodiment.
