Content

With the resection(s) completed, the resection guide can be removed and one or more fasteners 710 retained in one or more bones. The retained fasteners may be used to translate and/or rotate the proximal and distal bone or bone fragments. In one embodiment, a compressor or distractor can be deployed over the fasteners 710 to facilitate joining, translating, holding, and/or positioning the cut surfaces and/or fusing the bones. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that for certain patients with certain pathologies, the form and/or shape of the resection guide can be different. As explained above, the resection guide can be positioned, sized, configured, and oriented and/or trajectories set for the resection guide preoperatively using bone models. Additionally, a surgeon can provide a prescription for the location of guide features (e.g., resection features) to account for other conditions of a particular patient. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that the resection guide can be used for a variety of procedures in a hindfoot, midfoot, forefoot, hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder, and/or the like. One skilled in the art can appreciate that the presented embodiments may be modified, revised, or repositioned to address a surgeon’s particular angles, approach, entry locations and/or preferences.
