Content
A digital fulcrum design tool 414 can be useful in planning for a particular surgical procedure, such as a Lapidus procedure. In a Lapidus procedure, a user may seek to move a first metatarsal 208 until the longitudinal axis of the first metatarsal 208 is parallel or near parallel to a longitudinal axis of a second metatarsal 210. A digital fulcrum design tool 414 may include a body connected to a handle. The body may be sized, shaped, and/or configured to fit between a base of a bone model of the first metatarsal 208 and the base of a bone model of the second metatarsal 210. The handle facilitates positioning and manipulating the digital fulcrum design tool 414.
