Content
As described herein, a surgeon can dictate whether the resection guides 820 is a single guide as in resection guide 1402, whether a bone engagement feature 830 is between the resection features 826, how many bone engagement features 830 to include, how many resection features to include, the configuration of the resection features, the configuration of the bone engagement features, and the like. A surgeon can also control whether the resection guide 1402 will include fastener guides 890 and/or an alignment guide 874. In one embodiment, a portion of the body that extends from a distal end of the tibia 226 to the proximal end of the talus 222 across the ankle joint (e.g., between the resection features 826) may also include a plurality of openings in a pattern. The openings may be six sided (i.e., hexagons). The openings may serve to facilitate visibility for a surgeon of the bones and/or space between the bones of the joint, particularly when the surgeon uses flouroscopy to confirm positioning and/or steps for a surgical procedure.
