            "term": "bone wedge",
            "definition": "\"Bone Wedge\" refers to a geometric shape of one or more bones characterized by having two flat, planar, and/or inclined sides or surfaces that converge to form an edge. A bone wedge resembles a triangular prism, with one end wider or thicker than the other. In certain implementations, the edge formed by the two converging sides is within a bone or set of bones from which the bone wedge is formed. In other implementations, the edge formed by the two converging sides is outside of a bone or set of bones from which the bone wedge is formed."

            "term": "midfoot bone",
            "definition": "\"Midfoot Bone\" refers to any bone of a foot of a human or animal between the ankle and the toes. For example, in a human a midfoot bone can include any of the metatarsus including a first metatarsal bone, second metatarsal bone, third metatarsal bone, fourth metatarsal bone, and fifth metatarsal bone; a medial cuneiform bone, an intermediate cuneiform bone, a lateral cuneiform bone, a cuboid bone, a talus bone, and the like."

            "term": "predetermined position",
            "definition": "\"Predetermined Position\" refers to a position that is decided, determined, finalized, and/or defined earlier in time. In certain embodiments, a predetermined position is a desired, designed, and/or engineered position of a first object in relation to a second object. Thus, a predetermined position is a planned position for the two objects in relation to each other. In certain embodiments, one or both of the two objects may be moved relative to each other to accomplish the predetermined position and the predetermined position may become the final position. In other embodiments, the two objects may be moved towards the predetermined position but may not reach the exact predetermined position due to some impediment and/or interference or a decision to change the predetermined position to a new position. In certain aspects, a predetermined position may be a position that is decided after a process of recommendation, review, and/or analysis, and final approval such that a position may not become a predetermined position until the process is completed. For example, in a medical patient-specific instrument or technique design process a position may not become the predetermined position until a surgeon or other doctor provides final approval for the position."
