In this embodiment, the resection guide 4420 includes a different set of bone attachment features 4424 than other embodiments described. The resection guide 4420 includes a first bone attachment feature 4424a and a second bone attachment feature 4424b on an anterior side of the resection guide 4420 and a third bone attachment feature 4424c on a posterior side of the resection guide 4420. In certain embodiments, the first bone attachment feature 4424a and second bone attachment feature 4424b may be configured such that a first fastener 4410a and second fastener 4410b deployed in the first bone attachment feature 4424a and the second bone attachment feature 4424b can be used in subsequent steps of the surgical procedure. In this embodiment, a wedge bone fragment formed by the osteotomy may not be connected to a fastener 4410. However, a surgeon may remove the wedge bone fragment using forceps.
