Content
As shown in FIG. 16, method 1600 may include positioning a tibial resection guide onto an anterior surface of a distal end of the tibia. The tibial resection guide includes a body having an anterior side, a posterior side, a medial side, a lateral side, a superior side, and an inferior side; a tibia resection feature configured to guide a cutting tool to prepare the tibia for fusion to a talus; a tibial bone attachment feature configured to secure the tibial resection guide to the tibia; a bone engagement feature having a bone engagement surface configured to at least partially match a contour of a portion of the anterior surface of the distal end of the tibia when the tibial resection guide is positioned for use. The tibial resection guide is defined based at least partially on user directions and at least partially on a bone model of at least a portion of the tibia, the bone model based on medical imaging of a patient’s foot (block 1602). For example, a surgeon may position a tibial resection guide onto an anterior surface of a distal end of the tibia, as described above.
