Alternatively, or in addition, the set of proximal bone attachment feature 950 are configured to identify a location for a proximal reference feature (e.g., a set of proximal guide pins 928) and the set of distal bone attachment feature 952 are configured to identify a location for a distal reference feature (e.g., a set of distal guide pins 930). In certain embodiments, the proximal reference feature may be positioned and/or located on a cuneiform of a patient’s foot and the distal reference feature may be positioned and/or located on a metatarsal of a patient's foot. The proximal reference feature may correspond to a proximal model reference (e.g., a set of model guide pins) on a cuneiform model of the cuneiform of the patient. The set of proximal bone attachment feature 950 are configured to receive the set of proximal guide pins 928 that serve as the proximal reference feature. The distal reference feature may correspond to a distal model reference (e.g., a set of model guide pins) on a metatarsal model of the metatarsal of the patient. The set of distal bone attachment feature 952 are configured to receive the set of distal guide pins 930 that serve as the distal reference feature.
