Content
The resection feature 826 of the tibial resection guide 822 may be referred to as a tibia resection feature 864 and the resection feature 826 of the talus resection guide 824 may be referred to as a talus resection feature 866. In certain embodiments, this means that a user, or end user, may review the bone model, and a model of the tibial resection guide 822 and/or the talus resection guide 824 and based on these models determine, at least in part, where to position the resection feature 826 (e.g., tibia resection feature 864 and talus resection feature 866) within a resection guide 820. Advantageously, by reviewing and working with the models, a user and/or end user can minimize the amount of bone removed to perform a successful surgical procedure. Determining a position for the resection features 826 in a model of an instrument can be directly reflected in a fabricated instrument based on the model. In one embodiment, the position of a resection feature can be based on user instructions 604. Alternatively, or in addition, other features of a resection guide 820 can be based, at least partially, on user instructions 604.
