Content
FIGS. 10E, 10F, 11D, 11E, and 11F illustrate a bone engagement surface 832 of an example talus resection guide 824. The bone engagement surface 832 facilitates registration of the talus resection guide 824 to the talus 222. The position of the talus resection guide 824 on a proximal end of the talus 222 may be determined by a surgeon preoperatively. FIGS 10E and 10J illustrate examples of a structure of a talus resection guide 824 that can serve as a landmark registration feature 834 and/or a bone engagement surface 832. The landmark registration feature 834 may form an indentation or pocket within a side wall of the talus resection guide 824. Whether or not a talus resection guide 824 includes a pocket shaped landmark registration feature 834 can depend on the anatomy of the patient and the desired position and orientation of the talus resection guide 824 as overseen by the surgeon.
