Content

Certain embodiments of the present disclosure leverage the position of fasteners (e.g., pins) deployed in the first bone attachment feature 908 and in the second bone attachment feature 910 for multiple purposes. First, the fasteners can be used to indicate for a surgeon the trajectories of osteotomies formed using the proximal resection feature 902 and/or the distal resection feature 904 that are directed along trajectories that are parallel to trajectories that the fasteners are deployed in one or more bones. Second, the fasteners serve to retain the resection guide 820c and keep the resection guide 820c in place while osteotomies are formed. And third, the fasteners are positioned and/or oriented for use to facilitate and aid in reduction of the osteotomies and/or correction of bones as part of the reduction. In the illustrated embodiment, the fasteners in the second bone attachment feature 910 enable rotational correction of the metatarsal as the fasteners of the second bone attachment feature 910 are brought towards and into alignment with the fasteners of the first bone attachment feature 908.
