Content
As described in the present disclosure, a resection guide 720a can be specifically designed for a particular patient. The resection guide 720 is patient-specific. The resection guide 720 facilitates making one or more osteotomies through one or more bones of a midfoot of a patient. In addition, the resection guide 720 assists a surgeon in knowing that a position of a resection guide 720 during surgery is the same or substantially the same as a predetermined position defined earlier. In one embodiment, the predetermined position is a position that has been defined and/or confirmed and/or agreed to by the surgeon using the bone model 404 and/or a model of the resection guide 720. In the system 400, for example, a surgeon can use a registration module 440 to register a preliminary model of the resection guide 720 to one or more bones of the bone model 404. Using the apparatus 402, a surgeon can leverage a patient-specific model of one or more bones of a patient and a model of the resection guide 720 to define one or more patient-specific bone engagement features for the resection guide 720. In this manner, the predetermined position includes a position on one or more bones of a patient. The predetermined position may be defined preoperatively using a model of a resection guide and a bone model.
