Content
The body 900 may include resection features 902, 904 that guide a cutting tool to resect one or more bones, such as a medial cuneiform and/or a first metatarsal in the manner needed to make the desired resection. For example, the resection features 902, 904 may be used to guide a planar cutting blade, an arcuate cutting blade, a drill or mill, a burr, and/or the like. The resection features 902, 904 may guide a reciprocating planar blade, such as that of a surgical bone saw, that forms planar cuts in a first cuneiform and a first metatarsal. Various manual or powered tools may be used to form the cuts. In one embodiment, a sagittal bone saw can be used.
