Content
Advantageously, the resection guards 870 provide a boundary within the respective bones to prevent a cutting tool from drifting, or moving, outside an area defined by a resection feature 826. Resection of the talus 222 and/or tibia 226 can require deep cuts and keeping the cutting tool within the area defined by the resection feature 826 can be a challenge as the resection extends deeper and deeper into a bone. Advantageously, the resection guards 870 can assist the surgeon to avoid inadvertent resection of structures near or adjacent to the area indicated by the resection feature 826 (e.g., medial malleolus, lateral malleolus, etc.). In this manner, resection guards 870 can be a form of stop used in the osteotomy system 800.
