Content

FIG. 18 illustrates an exemplary ankle fusion osteotomy system 1800, according to one embodiment. In one embodiment, the exemplary ankle fusion osteotomy system 1800 is specifically designed for use on a lateral side of the patient’s ankle (e.g., using a lateral approach). Those of skill in the art will appreciate that the same or a similar exemplary ankle fusion osteotomy system 1800 can be used on a medial side of the patient’s ankle (e.g., using a medial approach). Those of skill in the art will also appreciate that a surgical procedure that conducts an ankle fusion on an ankle from a medial or lateral approach generally includes steps to perform an osteotomy on the malleolus (medial or lateral depending on the approach) and retracting or holding a distal end of the malleolus out of the way for the osteotomy steps on the tibia 226 and/or talus 222. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that the osteotomy system 1800 can include one or more components that are patient-specific and/or one or more components that are not patient-specific. Thus, the osteotomy system 1800 can be a combination of patient-specific components and/or non-patient-specific components.
