Content
In the illustrated embodiment, the tibial resection guide 822 and talus resection guide 824 are separate instruments. Advantageously, using two separate resection guides can enable a surgeon to adapt intraoperatively to an amount of rotation and/or translation of one or more bones the soft tissue around the bones will permit. Specifically, one resection guide (e.g., tibial and/or talus) may include a resection feature with a first angle for correction, a second resection guide may include a resection feature with a second angle for correction greater than the first, a third resection guide may include a resection feature with a third angle for correction greater than the second, and so forth. These different resection guides may be part of a kit available to the surgeon during the surgery. In this manner, a surgeon can choose a resection guide with a preferred angle for correction during the surgery.
