Content
Method 1600 may include additional implementations, such as any single implementation or any combination of implementations described herein and/or in connection with one or more other methods or processes described elsewhere herein. A first implementation, method 1600 further includes accessing an anterior surface of a distal end of a tibia and an anterior surface of a proximal end of a talus of a patient’s foot; deploying a set of stops within the tibia resection feature to manage the cutting tool; verifying the position of the tibial resection guide by comparing the shaft to a mechanical axis of the tibia and a set of fasteners deployed using the tibial resection guide; and reducing the first osteotomy and the second osteotomy by abutting the resected distal end of the tibia and the resected proximal end of the talus. When verifying the position, the surgeon may leverage one or more shafts 878 positioned in one or more alignment guides 874, one or more bone attachment features 828 (i.e., pins in bone), and/or one or more resection guards 870 (e.g., reference features) that may be configured to have a trajectory and/or orientation relative to axes of bones of the patient’s foot such that a surgeon can used these reference features to verify that instruments are desired positions.
