Content
In the illustrated embodiment, the placement feature 1510 is configured to position an instrument on an opposite side a resection guide 920 such as, for example, a distal tibia resection guide 1420a. In one embodiment, the placement feature 1510 can be used to position and/or orient a guide or other instrument on a bone having few, if any landmarks that can be used for registration. For example, a distal tibia resection guide 1420a may readily register to a medial surface of a bone such as a tibia 224, while a distal fibula resection guide 1410a may have few, or no landmarks for registration on a surface of a bone, such as a fibular 226. In such a situation, the distal tibia resection guide 1420a may be placed and positioned first, and the placement feature 1510 can be used subsequently to position a distal fibula resection guide 1410a.
