Referring to Figure 32F, those of skill in the art will appreciate that other sections 3044, 3046 (e.g., sections that run vertically when the resection guide 3020 is used) may also extend at one or more angles to guide resection of the bone along a desired path through the bone. The proximal section 3044 can be angled such that resection using the resection features 3022 resects in a single plane or in multiple planes. Similarly, The distal section 3046 can be angled such that resection using the resection features 3022 resects in a single plane or in multiple planes. Advantageously, the angles for the resection features 3022 can be patient-specific and/or can be predefined and included in multiple versions of the resection guide 3020 available in a kit for a surgeon to use.
