Content
In addition, the resection guide 1502 can include a bone probe 1528. In one embodiment, the bone probe 1528 is a structure that extends away from the interconnecting body section 1526 from a posterior side of the resection guide 1502. In one embodiment, the bone probe 1528 is configured to extend such that when the resection guide 1502 is in use the bone probe 1528 extends into a joint between a first bone (e.g., tibia 226) and a second bone (e.g., talus 222). In one embodiment, the bone probe 1528 is configured to engage, at least partially, with a landmark associated with one or the other or both of the first bone and the second bone. In one embodiment, the landmark of one or both of the bones may be a protrusion, a projection, a tuberosity, a cavity, a void, a divot, a tab, an extension, a hook, a curve, or the like of one or both of the bones and/or a structure on a surface of one or both of the bones. In one embodiment, a distal end of the bone probe 1528 can be patient-specific and configured to substantially match a surface of one or the other of the bones of a joint.
