Content
These user instructions 604 may have initiated the design and/or fabrication of the tibial resection guide 822. For example, a surgeon may have desired to have as much surface area on the posterior side 840 as possible while still keeping the overall size of the tibial resection guide 822 as small as practicable. Accordingly, in the illustrated embodiment, a surgeon may have indicated that two bone engagement feature 830 that includes bone engagement surface 832 are to be positioned and sized as indicated between the bone attachment features 828 and the tibia resection feature 864. In this manner, a surgeon may maximize an amount of surface area of the tibial resection guide 822 that contacts a tibia 226 to facilitate initial positioning intraoperatively to match or substantially match a position planned using a model of the tibial resection guide 822 and a model of the tibia 226. In certain embodiments, a surgeon may, at their discretion, include in the user instructions 604, instructions to add another body section that includes a bone engagement surface 832 to a medial side 842, a lateral side 844, a superior side 846, and/or an inferior side 848 of the tibial resection guide 822.
