Content

FIG. 21E illustrates that the first angle 1896 and second angle 1898 have been selected, determined, defined (e.g., using bone models of the patient) such that reduction of the curved osteotomy and the angled curved osteotomy remediates a deformity of the patient. Note that in comparing FIGs. 21D to 21E, the alignment and/or position of the calcaneus 224 has been changed and the calcaneus 224 has been translated more in line with the mechanical axis 880 of the tibia 226. A first dome osteotomy (i.e., curved osteotomy) and a second dome osteotomy (i.e., angled curved osteotomy) have been brought together to provide a deformity correction. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that forming the curved osteotomy and/or the angled curved osteotomy without the aid of the first resection guide 1822 and/or second resection guide 1824 may have required resection of the bone(s) by manual free-hand. Advantageously, the reduction and subsequent fusion using the first resection guide 1822 and/or second resection guide 1824 can result in a more satisfactory fusion of an ankle joint.
