View Edit Delete	PER-12	A patient may present with a variety of conditions. To correct or mitigate these conditions an osteotomy guide according to the present disclosure can be used to address dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, or angular correction of a bone segment or any bone. The osteotomy guide could fit on any aspect in the angles would be determined based on the desired degree of correction. In certain embodiments, this osteotomy guide can be used within a portion of bone as opposed to over a joint.	559	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:03 PM

View Edit Delete	PER-12	Figures 45A-45D illustrates different stages of performing a surgical osteotomy procedure using an osteotomy system of Figure 44, according to one embodiment. Typically, a preferred approach for the osteotomy is on the lateral side of the calcaneus 1806. In the illustrated embodiment, the surgical procedure creates a wedge osteotomy. According to one embodiment, a surgeon may access a lateral surface of the calcaneus 1806. Next a surgeon may position a resection guide 4420 on the lateral surface in a position predetermined using a calcaneus model of the patient’s calcaneus 1806. In certain embodiments, the step of positioning can include seating or registration of the resection guide 4420 to a surface of the calcaneus 1806 (a bone). The resection guide 4420 may be configured, for example, as one of the resection guides described herein.	538	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:03 PM
View Edit Delete	PER-12	Once positioned, a surgeon may deploy a first fastener 4410a into a first bone attachment feature 4424a, a second fastener 4410b into a second bone attachment feature 4424b, and a third fastener 4410c into a third bone attachment feature 4424c. In one embodiment, the bone attachment features 4424 are configured such that the first fastener 4410a, second fastener 4410b, and third fastener 4410c are parallel relative to each other. Next, a surgeon may direct a cutting tool into one or more resection features 4422. In the illustrated embodiment, the resection guide 4420 may include a first resection feature 4422a and a second resection feature 4422b.	539	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:03 PM
View Edit Delete	PER-12	In certain embodiments, the osteotomy system 4400 may include a guide for managing how deep a surgeon cuts into the calcaneus 1806 using the cutting tool. In one embodiment, the depth may be recommended in a preoperative plan and a surgeon may configure the cutting tool to indicate when that depth is reached. Alternatively, or in addition, the resection guide 4420 may include a stop that prevents cutting below the recommended depth. For example, the resection guide 4420 may have a height that is such that a lateral side of the resection guide 4420 may serve as a stop to prevent cutting beyond a particular depth. Alternatively, or in addition, a separate structure may be provided with the osteotomy system 4400 and/or the resection guide 4420 to serve as a stop to control cutting depth into a bone.	540	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:03 PM
