In certain embodiments, the bone engagement surfaces 726 are patient-specific: contoured to match a surface of: one or more bones and/or bone surfaces the resection guide 720 contacts (or is adjacent to) during the procedure or one or more joints proximal to the resection guide 720 during the procedure. Alternatively, or in addition, the bone engagement surface 726 may not be patient-specific, and may, or may not, contact a bone surface during use of the resection guide 720. In certain embodiments, a bone engagement surface 726 may include sections that are patient-specific and other sections that are not patient-specific. in one embodiment, the nonpatient-specific sections may be configured to avoid interfering with placement and securement of the resection guide 720.
