Content
FIG. 17A illustrates a stage of the method 1600 in which a tibial resection guide 822 is positioned 1602 on an anterior surface of a distal end of a tibia 226. In one embodiment, the tibial resection guide 822 and/or talus resection guide 824 may be made of metal such that they have a greater mass than resection guides 820 fabricated from materials having a lower mass such as polymers and/or ceramics. Using a resection guide 820 with a greater mass can facilitate registering the resection guide 820 to a bone surface during positioning steps.
