Content
In one embodiment, one or more of the bone attachment features may be positioned along a side of the resection guide in order to aid a surgeon in accurate positioning of the resection guide for the surgical procedure. In one example, the first bone attachment feature 908 may be specifically positioned along the proximal side 918 so that an arm that connects the first bone attachment feature 908 to the body is aligned with the dorsal axis 1206 that runs parallel to the longitudinal axis 1202. In one embodiment, the longitudinal axis 1202 may be coaxial with a long axis of a cuneiform involved in the surgical procedure. In another embodiment, the longitudinal axis 1202 may be coaxial with a long axis of a metatarsal involved in the surgical procedure in a deformed condition (preoperatively). In yet another embodiment, the longitudinal axis 1202 may be coaxial with a long axis of a metatarsal involved in the surgical procedure in a corrected condition (postoperatively).
