Content
In the illustrated embodiment, a curved osteotomy may refer to an osteotomy formed using from a lateral side or a medial side of an ankle of a patient. (e.g., lateral approach or medial approach). When using this approach a curved osteotomy can be formed in which the osteotomy extends into the bone (e.g., tibia 226 and/or talus 222) at a second angle 1898 (See FIG. 21D) that is perpendicular to a mechanical axis 880 of the bone being resected (e.g., tibia 226 or talus 222). The second angle 1898 may be measured based on a trajectory for how the curved osteotomy extends into the bone within the frontal plane 264. Such a curved osteotomy may be referred to as a straight cut. Alternatively, or in addition, instead of a curved osteotomy, resection guides 1820 may each include resection features for forming angled curved osteotomies.
