Content
In the illustrated embodiment, the second resection guide 1824 is configured to be used for a second osteotomy after a first osteotomy is performed (e.g., using the first resection guide 1822). The second resection guide 1824 uses resected bone surfaces from the first osteotomy to position and/or orient the second resection guide 1824. Consequently, the bone engagement surface 2018 of the bone engagement feature 1830’ includes at least one surface configured to engage with one or more surfaces of a first osteotomy. In one embodiment, the bone engagement surface 2018 is configured to engage with both sides of a curved osteotomy. As discussed in more detail herein, a surgeon may use a first resection guide 1822 to form a first osteotomy, a curved osteotomy, that cuts into an end of one bone (e.g., a talus 222), an end of two bones (e.g., a talus 222 and a tibia 226), into a portion of a single bone (e.g., a talus 222 or tibia 226).
