Content

In certain embodiments, when a surgeon uses the resection guide 720a, the surgeon may deploy a first fastener 710 in an opening of bone attachment feature 724a and a second fastener 710 in an opening of bone attachment feature 724b into one or more bones of a patient’s midfoot. In one embodiment, the fasteners 710 are made from a radiopaque material such as metal. Next, a surgeon may use an X-ray or fluoroscopy to see where the first fastener 710 and/or second fastener 710 extend into one or more bones of the midfoot of the patient. Advantageously, the surgeon knows that the trajectories (e.g., third trajectory 1014 and fourth trajectory 1016) of the first fastener 710 and second fastener 710 are parallel to the first trajectory 1010 and/or second trajectory 1012. Thus, the surgeon can visualize where the first trajectory 1010 and second trajectory 1012 will extend into the one or more bones. In this example, the third trajectory 1014 indicates the first trajectory 1010 and the fourth trajectory 1016 indicates the second trajectory 1012.
