Content
As further shown in FIG. 16, method 1600 may include positioning a talus resection guide onto an anterior surface of the proximal end of the talus. The talus 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 talus resection feature configured to guide the cutting tool to prepare the talus for fusion to the tibia; a talus bone attachment feature configured to secure the talus resection guide to the talus; 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 proximal end of the talus when the talus resection guide is positioned for use; where the talus 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 talus, the bone model based on medical imaging of the patient’s foot (block 1610). For example, a surgeon may position a talus resection guide onto an anterior surface of the proximal end of the talus, as described above.
