Content
Advantageously, the osteotomy system 800 can include a plurality of stops 886 and/or resection guards 870 that can assist a surgeon during the cutting in or between any of the planes of the foot and/or ankle. These stops 886 are configured to prevent a cutting tool from cutting tissue beyond a boundary defined at least partially using a bone model of at least a portion of a patient's foot and/or ankle. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that as an osteotomy is formed in one or both of the resection feature 826 and resection guards 870 are being used, the osteotomy will free the resection guard 870. For certain surgeons this may be undesirable. Advantageously, a surgeon can include in the user instructions 604 that specify whether or not to include stops 886 and/or resection guards 870, how many to include, where to position them, and the like. Thus, a surgeon can control how and where stops 886 may be used.
