Content
A surgeon may use the alignment guide 874 by inserting a shaft 878, such as a K-wire, into, or through, an opening 876. The openings 876 and alignment guide 874 may be configured such that a K-wire 878 within the opening 876 extends superiorly along a superior-inferior axis and indicates the orientation and alignment of the tibial resection guide 822 relative to a long axis or a mechanical axis 880 of the tibia 226. A surgeon may compare this alignment with a desired alignment and/or position and/or the orientation and/or alignment of other bones of the patient. In this manner, a surgeon can confirm that tibial resection guide 822 is properly positioned.
