Content
In the illustrated embodiment, the example resection guides 820 include fastener guides 890 that can be implemented as holes in the bodies of the tibial resection guide 822 and/or talus resection guide 824. These fastener guides 890 may be laid out on the resection guides 820 in a pattern that matches the one or more holes for a fastener such as one or more bone plates, one or more bone staple, one or more bone screws, or the like that a surgeon may desired to use for provisional or permanent fixation. In one embodiment, the fastener guides 890 mark where pilot holes or hole marks can be made in the bone. Alternatively, or in addition, a surgeon may deploy pins that can be used in a fixation system. In still other embodiments, a fastener guides 890 may serve to enable deployment of fixation fastener, such as a cannulated headless bone screw. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that the fastener guides 890 can take a variety of forms and configurations and leverage the positioning and placement of the resection guides 820.
