Content
Advantageously, the present disclosure enables the thickness/size of the predetermined offset 1024 to be predetermined, to be patient-specific, as well as the determination of whether or not to have a predetermined offset 1024. As described, a surgeon may preposition the vertex 1018 to be within a bone or outside a bone. In one embodiment, the vertex 1018 is prepositioned to be between a cortex (e.g., lateral cortex 1022) of a bone and the resection guide 720a when the resection guide 720a is used on a patient’s foot. In certain embodiments, the position of the vertex 1018 may be customized to a particular patient. The vertex 1018 position may be patient-specific. Alternatively, or in addition, the position of the vertex 1018 may be set at a default predetermined offset 1024, such as one millimeter. In another embodiment, the position of the vertex 1018 may be predetermined, for example due to the type of osteotomy being performed.
