View Edit Delete	PER-12	What is claimed is:	566	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:03 PM
View Edit Delete	PER-12	In certain embodiments, the positioning guide 2300 can facilitate translation and/or rotation of two parts of a bone or two bones of a patient. In the illustrated embodiment, the action of positioning guide 2300 on the fasteners 2012 can cause the posterior bone fragment 2114 to translate relative to the anterior bone fragment 2116. In certain embodiments, the positioning guide 2300 can include an offset feature (translation feature) that facilitates positioning the posterior bone fragment 2114 with a desired translation and/or orientation relative to the anterior bone fragment 2116. In addition, in certain embodiments, one or more of the pin guides 2200 (e.g., an anterior pin guide 2204 and a posterior pin guide 2202) may permit rotation of one part of the bone in relation to the other part or another landmark.	427	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:03 PM
View Edit Delete	PER-12	After the stage of an osteotomy procedure illustrated in Figure 24G, a surgeon may temporarily or permanently fixate the posterior bone fragment 2114 and the anterior bone fragment 2116. In one embodiment, a surgeon may deploy fixation across an osteotomy between the posterior bone fragment 2114 and the anterior bone fragment 2116.	428	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:03 PM
View Edit Delete	PER-12	The surgeon may use a variety of fasteners including a staple, a plate, one or more K-wires for temporary fixation, or the like. In one embodiment, the posterior pin 2220 and/or anterior pin 2222 may be designed to provide pilot holes and/or anchor holes for one or more fasteners of a fixation assembly, device, system, or apparatus.	429	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:03 PM
View Edit Delete	PER-12	Zadik osteotomy	430	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:03 PM
View Edit Delete	PER-12	Figure 25 illustrates an exemplary osteotomy system 2500 for a Zadik osteotomy, according to one embodiment. The osteotomy system 2500 can include two or more fasteners 2510 (2510a, 2510b), a resection guide 2520 (two embodiments 2520a, 2520b), and one or more complementary components 1930. While specific embodiments of complementary components 1930 are not specifically shown here in relation to the osteotomy system 2500, those of skill in the art will appreciate that complementary components 1930 similar in feature, purpose, design, implementation, configuration, and purpose as those described in relation to the wedge osteotomy system 2000 can be used for the osteotomy system 2500. Thus, the osteotomy system 2500 can include one or more alignment guides 1940, rotation guides 1950, correction guides 1960, compression guides 1970, positioning guides 1980, fixation guides 1990, one or more pin guides 1994, and/or implants 1996.	431	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:03 PM
View Edit Delete	PER-12	Figures 26A-26B illustrates different stages of performing a surgical osteotomy procedure (e.g., a Zadik osteotomy) using the osteotomy system of Figure 25, according to one embodiment. Typically, the preferred approach for a Zadik osteotomy is on the lateral side of the calcaneus 1806. Figure 26A illustrates the resection guide 2520b secured to the calcaneus 1806 by way of fasteners 2010.	432	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:03 PM
View Edit Delete	PER-12	Figure 26B illustrates a closer view of the stage in the surgical osteotomy procedure (e.g., a Zadik osteotomy) of Figure 26A with the resection guide 2520b positioned on a calcaneus 1806 of a foot. Figure 26B illustrates a stage in the surgical osteotomy procedure (e.g., a Zadik osteotomy) in which a wedge resection has been performed. Fasteners 2012 can serve to engage the proximal and distal parts of the calcaneus 1806 after the resection and/or for subsequent repositioning of the proximal and distal parts of the calcaneus 1806.	433	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:03 PM
View Edit Delete	PER-12	Note that Figure 26B illustrates a wedge cut that extends to the opposite side of the bone. Alternatively, or in addition, in certain embodiments, instead of the wedge extending to the opposite side approximately a 1-3 mm section of bone may be left on the other side (medial side) of the bone. This section can facilitate handling of the parts of the calcaneus 1806 during the surgical osteotomy procedure (e.g., a Zadik osteotomy). In certain embodiments, the remaining portion can be used as a living hinge to keep the two parts of the bone together during a fixation step or during one or more steps of the surgical osteotomy procedure.	434	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:03 PM
View Edit Delete	PER-12	Figures 27A-27D illustrate views of a resection guide of an osteotomy system, according to one embodiment. The resection guide 2520 of osteotomy system 2500 can include some or all of the same or substantially the same features, aspects, and/or components as the resection guide 2020. Accordingly, the resection guide 2520 can or may include one or more resection features 2522 (e.g., resection features 2522a-c), one or more bone attachment features 2524 (e.g., bone attachment features 2524a-d), one or more handles 2526 (e.g., handles 2026a,b), one or more bone engagement surfaces 2530, and one or more landmark registration features 2528 (e.g., landmark registration feature 2528a,b). Similarly, features of the resection guide 2520 (e.g., resection features 2522, bone attachment features 2524, handles 2526, landmark registration features 2528, and bone engagement surfaces 2530) may be the same, similar, or substantially similar to those of the resection guide 1920 or resection guide 2020 described above. Of course the features of the resection guide 2520 may be configured to facilitate the particular osteotomy procedure (e.g., Zadik).	435	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:03 PM
View Edit Delete	PER-12	In one embodiment, the resection features 2522 may be positioned and oriented such that resecting along the resection features 2522 will enable resection of a wedge shape from the bone. Advantageously, the resection features 2522 can be positioned and oriented such that the wedge enables a repositioning of parts of the bone in two or more planes (biplanar; e.g., sagittal and transverse). Of course, the resection features 2522 can also be positioned and oriented such that the resection cuts made are within a single plane, and may angle toward each other to form a wedge resection.	436	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:03 PM
View Edit Delete	PER-12	In addition, the resection guide 2520a includes a lateral side 2531, a medial side 2532, a proximal side 2533, a distal side 2534, a superior side 2535, and an inferior side 2536. Generally, the sides of the resection guide 2520 refer to the direction the sides face when the resection guide 2520 is in use. In certain embodiments, one or more of the handles 2526 can serve as both a handle used by a user to position the resection guide 2520b and/or as a landmark registration feature 2528. The landmark registration feature 2528 can provide the same features, advantages, and/or benefits as the landmark registration feature 2041 described herein.	437	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:03 PM
View Edit Delete	PER-12	Figures 28A-28D illustrate views of a resection guide 2520a of an osteotomy system, according to another embodiment. The resection guide 2520a may be similar to the resection guide 2520b described above, except that the resection guide 2520a may include differences in the resection features 2522. For example, Figure 28A illustrates that the resection feature 2522a and resection features 2522b may not include an outer wall that extends as far as the outer wall of the resection guide 2520b.	438	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:03 PM
View Edit Delete	PER-12	Figures 29A-29B illustrate views of the resection guide of Figures 27A-27D, according to another embodiment. These figures illustrate the medial side 2532 and the bone engagement surface 2530.	439	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:03 PM
