Paragraph Number

342

Advantageously, embodiments of the present disclosure enable a user (e.g., a technician, and/or a surgeon) to visualize and work with the bone model as well as a model of the resection guide 2020 before the resection guide 2020 is fabricated. Accordingly, a user can identify and measure the effects of one or more osteotomies formed using the resection guide 2020 along the first trajectory 2042 and/or the second trajectory 2044. In addition, a user can change the first trajectory 2042, the second trajectory 2044, the positions of the posterior resection feature 2022a and/or the anterior resection feature 2022b relative to each other (in one, two, or three planes), and a variety of other aspects of the resection guide 2020 and/or the osteotomy system 2000 before instruments are fabricated and used on patient. Thus, a user can design and/or revise the resection guide 2020 and its characteristics and features to accomplish a customized surgical procedure and/or outcome for the patient.
