Content
In one embodiment, FIG. 25C illustrates a stage in which a second resection guide 2224 is positioned on a lateral side of the ankle. The second resection guide 2224 can be secured using one or more common pins that were used for the first resection guide 2222 and/or new pins may be deployed to secure the second resection guide 2224. In one embodiment, pins for bone attachment features 2228 in the tibia may be deployed using the bone attachment features 2228 at an angle that ensures that the second resection guide 2224 is securely coupled to the bone(s). In the illustrated embodiment, the second resection guide 2224 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 2502. The angled curved osteotomy 2502 formed in the bone(s) may not be perpendicular to a mechanical axis 880 of the tibia 226.
