Paragraph Number

276

The distal resection guide 820b includes a body 1112, a resection feature 1114, and one or more openings 1116. The resection feature 1114 guides resection of tissue such as a bone. In particular, the resection feature 1114 can guide a surgeon in performing an osteotomy. Advantageously, the position, size, depth, and angle of the resection feature 1114 relative to the a long axis of the tissue such as a bone can be preplanned, predetermined, such that forming a cut face using the resection feature 1114 will enable implementation of a correction that addresses a condition of a patient. Such planning and precision is possible because the distal resection guide 820b can be designed based on medical imaging of the patient’s anatomy.
