Content
Figure 21E illustrates a medial side 2032 perspective view of a resection guide 2020a. In the illustrated embodiment, the medial side 2032 includes a bone engagement surface 2033. In one embodiment, the bone engagement surface 2033 is configured to contact and/or engage with a surface of a bone of a patient. In one embodiment, periosteum on the bone is elevated and/or stripped around the area of the bone where the resection guide 2020a is to be positioned. The periosteal elevation exposes the bone surface for engagement by the bone engagement surface 2033. Advantageously, the bone engagement surface 2033 is configured to substantially conform to the surface of the bone. Alternatively, or in addition, the bone engagement surface 2033 is configured to partially conform to the surface of the bone.
