PER-32 Method 1700 may include additional implementations, such as any single implementation or any combination of implementations described below and/or in connection with one or more other processes described elsewhere herein. A first implementation, method 1700 further includes removing a guard pin of a bone engagement feature before removing the resection guide; and reinserting the guard pin into a channel of the second bone fragment after removing the resection guide. The guard pin may be reinserted into the channel of the second bone fragment before the second bone fragment is moved. The channel of the second bone fragment may be formed by the guard pin inserted before removing the resection guide. 294 Added by DJM Jan 2024 1/6/24, 9:49 PM

PER-32 In a second implementation, alone or in combination with the first implementation, the second bone fragment includes one or more anchor pins and moving the second bone fragment further may include moving the one or more anchor pins of the second bone fragment in close proximity to the reduction anchor. For example, the one or more anchor pins may be moved into one or more open end slots of a reduction anchor. 295 Added by DJM Jan 2024 1/6/24, 9:49 PM

PER-32 In a third implementation, alone or in combination with the first and second implementation, stabilizing the second bone fragment and first bone fragment may include coupling one or more anchor pins of the second bone fragment to the reduction anchor. 296 Added by DJM Jan 2024 1/6/24, 9:49 PM

PER-32 It should be noted that while FIG. 17 shows example blocks of method 1700, in some implementations, method 1700 may include additional blocks, fewer blocks, different blocks, or differently arranged blocks than those depicted in FIG. 17. Additionally, or alternatively, two or more of the blocks of method 1700 may be performed in parallel. 297 Added by DJM Jan 2024 1/6/24, 9:49 PM

PER-32 FIG. 18 illustrates a system 1800 that includes an example resection guide deployed on a medial surface of a distal tibia 224. The system 1800 includes a distal tibia resection guide 1810b similar to resection guide 1020c and a distal fibula resection guide 1820b. In FIG. 18B, the tibia 224 and fibula 226 are shown using a transparent representation to enable visualization of a placement feature 1510. 298 Added by DJM Jan 2024 1/6/24, 9:49 PM

PER-32 FIG. 18A illustrates the distal tibia resection guide 1810b and the distal fibula resection guide 1820b deployed on the tibia 224 and fibula 226. FIG. 18 illustrates that the members of the system 1800 are tailored to the needs of a specific patient. The length of the distal tibia resection guide 1810b is longer because a larger wedge is being resected. A proximal resection feature 1022a may be perpendicular to the bone surface and to a longitudinal axis of the bone and a distal resection feature 1022b may be angled to form the wedge. 299 Added by DJM Jan 2024 1/6/24, 9:49 PM

PER-32 FIG. 18B illustrates the distal fibula resection guide 1820b and lateral side of the ankle the distal tibia resection guide 1810b is also illustrated behind transparent bones. It should be noted that that distal fibula resection guide 1820b includes a single resection feature 1022a that is angled to resect the fibula 226. Also, the distal fibula resection guide 1820b includes an open ended second anchor 1540 configured to receive the distal end 1534 of the connector 1530. 300 Added by DJM Jan 2024 1/6/24, 9:49 PM

PER-32 The resection guides 1920a,b may have many structures, features, and functions, operations, and/or configuration similar or identical to those of the resection guide 1020a described in relation to FIGS. 11A-11E, like parts are identified with the same reference numerals. Accordingly, the resection guides 1920a,b may include one or more resection features 1022, bone attachment features 1024, bone engagement surfaces 1026, and landmark registration features 1028. The resection guides 1920a,b may include a body 1032, connector 1033, anterior side 1034, posterior side 1036, medial side 1038, lateral side 1040, superior side 1042, and/or an inferior side 1044.

PER-32 One difference between the illustrated embodiments of the resection guides 1920a,b may be the number, angle, size, and/or shape of resection features 1022 for a resection guide 1920 relative to the resection guide 1920 and/or patient bone, and the like. Each of these are examples of patient-specific features of the resection guides 1920. 303 Added by DJM Jan 2024 1/6/24, 9:49 PM

PER-32 In the illustrated embodiment, each of the resection guides 1020a,b,c may be configured for use on a lateral side of an ankle of a patient, with the side visible in FIG. 19 facing away from the bone(s). The resection features 1022a may be positioned and oriented to facilitate forming cuts for in a fibula 226. Of course, the resection features 1022 can be configured to enable osteotomies for an opening wedge and/or for a bone shorten osteotomy and/or for a bone lengthening osteotomy. 305 Added by DJM Jan 2024 1/6/24, 9:49 PM

PER-32 One resection guide 1020 (e.g., resection guide 1920a, distal tibia resection guide 1810b) may be configured to facilitate forming a wedge resection that opens to an anterior side of a distal tibia. Resection guide 1920a includes a single resection features 1022 in the shape of a “V”. Another resection guide 1920 (e.g., resection guide 1920b, distal fibula resection guide 1820b) may be configured to facilitate resecting a lateral side of a distal fibula 226 and/or ankle. 306 Added by DJM Jan 2024 1/6/24, 9:49 PM
