Paragraph Number

315

Referring still to FIG. 14E, in certain embodiments, a surgeon may decide to change the corrective surgical procedure intraoperatively or for another reason decide to use a different distal resection guide 820b than the one originally planned. For example, suppose a surgeon wants to create an osteotomy of the first metatarsal 208 that is at a greater or lesser angle that that of the originally planned distal resection guide 820b. In such an instance, the proximal resection guide 820a may be referred to as a first distal resection guide 820b and a surgeon may replace the first distal resection guide 820b with a second distal resection guide 820b configured to guide resection of the first metatarsal 208 at a different angle than the first distal resection guide 820b. The second distal resection guide 820b may include a second metatarsal resection feature different from a metatarsal resection feature of the first distal resection guide 820b.
