Paragraph Number

308

In certain embodiments, the resection guide 2020a can include one or more handles 2026. The handle 2026 can facilitate positioning and/or placement of the resection guide 2020a. In certain embodiments, the resection guide 2020a may not include handles 2026. Instead, a user may grasp the body 2028 for positioning. Alternatively, or in addition, the handle 2026 may be relatively straight and may be aligned with a longitudinal axis of the resection guide 2020a such that handle 2026 can be used as a visual guide for a surgeon to confirm the positioning, placement, and/or orientation of the resection guide 2020a on a bone of the patient. Of course, other aspects of the resection guide 2020a may serve the same or similar functions as a handle 2026, such that a dedicated handle 2026 may not be needed.
