FIG. 11B illustrates a bottom perspective view of a proximal resection guide 820a according to one embodiment. Advantageously, in certain embodiments, the proximal resection guide 820a can also include a bone engagement surface 1110. FIG. 11B illustrates one example of a bone engagement surface 1110. The bone engagement surface 1110 can facilitate proper positioning/registering of the proximal resection guide 820a to a desired location on one or more bones and/or transverse to a joint, such as a TMT. The bone engagement surface 1110 may cooperate with the guide pins (e.g., set of proximal guide pins 928) to ensure secure positioning of the proximal resection guide 820a. Advantageously, the fidelity of the medical imaging and modeled surface of the bone as well as the fidelity of the bone engagement surface 1110 enable the surgeon to accurately position the proximal resection guide 820a.
