1. A method of producing a customized tibial resection guide locator comprising:
mapping a contoured surface of the proximal tibia onto a digital model of a resection guide locator using a processor to create a digital model of a customized resection guide locator; and
manufacturing the customized resection guide locator such that the customized resection guide locator includes:
a complementary surface of the proximal tibia,
a wall having a shape that is complementary to an outer profile of a tibial resection guide such that a pocket is defined that is sized and configured to receive the tibial resection guide therein,
wherein a first elongate slot and at least one first hole are defined within the pocket, the first elongate slot and the at least one first hole are positioned within the pocket such that the first elongate slot aligns with a second elongate slot defined by the resection guide and the at least one first hole aligns with at least one second hole defined by the resection guide when the resection guide is received within the pocket of the customized resection guide locator.
