Paragraph Number

455

In one embodiment, the resection guide 3320 includes a posterior resection feature 3322a, an anterior resection feature 3322b, a first bone attachment feature 3324a, and a second bone attachment feature 3324b. The posterior resection feature 3322a is configured to guide a cutting tool to form a first osteotomy in a phalanx that follows a first trajectory. The first trajectory for first osteotomy can be determined, at least in part, based on a bone model or a portion of a bone model of the phalanx based, at least in part, on medical imaging of the patient’s foot. The bone model may be configured to significantly resemble and/or match the anatomy of the patient's foot. The first trajectory and/or first osteotomy may be created, identified, and/or used in a similar manner to the first trajectory 2042 and/or the first osteotomy 2046. The anterior resection feature 3322b is configured to guide a cutting tool to form a second osteotomy in the phalanx that follows a second trajectory. The second trajectory for second osteotomy can be determined, at least in part, based on the bone model. The second trajectory and/or second osteotomy may be created, identified, and/or used in a similar manner to the second trajectory 2044 and/or the second osteotomy 2048.
