Content
The body 1110 includes an anterior side, a posterior side, a medial side, a lateral side, a dorsal side, and a plantar side. Each side is named based on the direction or position of the side when the resection guide 720 is in use. In addition, the body 1110 includes a bone engagement surface (not visible in FIG. 11). Like the bone engagement surface 726 described in connection with other embodiments, the bone engagement surface may span the lateral side of the body 1110. Advantageously, the bone engagement surface includes a patient-specific surface that includes a contour that mirrors a contour of a plurality of midfoot bones (e.g., medial cuneiform 202 and/or first metatarsal 208). The patient-specific surface is defined at least in part using a bone model 404 of at least one bone of the patient’s foot. The bone engagement surface is on a bone-facing surface of the body 1110 when the resection guide 720 is in use. The bone engagement surface assists a surgeon in positioning the resection guide 720 in the same or substantially the same position as predetermined using a model of the resection guide 720 and/or one or more models of one or more bones of the patient.
