Content
The auxiliary bone attachment feature 752 can serve a variety of purposes. For example, an auxiliary bone attachment feature 752 can serve to engage with one or more bones or bone fragments that are to be resected from the patient. For example, a surgeon may position the resection guide 720e, secure the resection guide 720e to one or more bones using the bone attachment features 724. Next, a surgeon may deploy a pin or K-wire in an opening of the auxiliary bone attachment feature 752 to engage with one or more bone fragments (e.g., a wedge) that will be resected when the surgeon resects using the resection features 722. After the resection, the resection guide 720e can be removed while a pin of the auxiliary bone attachment feature 752 remains in place. That pin can then be used to manipulate, reposition, and/or remove a resected bone fragment.
