Content
In one embodiment, FIG. 21C illustrates a stage in which a second resection guide 1824 is positioned on a lateral side of the ankle. The second resection guide 1824 can be secured using one or more common pins that were used for the first resection guide 1822 and/or new pins may be deployed to secure the second resection guide 1824. In one embodiment, pins for bone attachment features 1828 in the tibia may be deployed using the bone attachment features 1828 at an angle that ensures that the second resection guide 1824 is securely coupled to the bone(s). In the illustrated embodiment, the second resection guide 1824 is positioned to resect a portion of an end of the tibia 226 in preparation for an ankle fusion. Next, a surgeon may form a second osteotomy, such as an angled curved osteotomy 2102. The angled curved osteotomy 2102 formed in the bone(s) may not be perpendicular to a mechanical axis 880 of the tibia 226.
