FIG. 11D illustrates a bottom perspective view of a distal resection guide 820b according to one embodiment. Advantageously, in certain embodiments, the distal resection guide 820b can also include a bone engagement surface 1120. FIG. 11B illustrates one example of a bone engagement surface 1120. The bone engagement surface 1120 can facilitate proper positioning/registering of the distal resection guide 820b to a desired location on one or more bones and/or transverse to a joint, such as a TMT. The bone engagement surface 1120 may cooperate with the guide pins (e.g., set of distal guide pins 930) to ensure secure positioning of the distal resection guide 820b. Advantageously, the fidelity of the medical imaging and modeled surface of the bone as well as the fidelity of the bone engagement surface 1120 enable the surgeon to accurately position the distal resection guide 820b.
