Content
In the illustrated embodiment, a resection guard 870 is positioned at each end of the resection feature 826 of the tibial resection guide 822 and at each end of the resection feature 826a of the resection guard 870. Of course, the resection guard 870 may be positioned at other points within, along, or near the resection features 826. Advantageously, because the resection guides 820 can be manufactured to meet a specific patient’s anatomy, more precise placement and/or orientation of resection guards 870 can enable preservation of a joint of the patient and/or avoid resection of adjacent structure within the area of the joint. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that the use of one or more resection guards 870 may be optional and may depend on the user instructions 604 as to whether resection guards 870 are included, where they are positioned, oriented, and/or used.
