Content
In certain embodiments, such as the illustrated embodiment, the position of the second bone attachment feature 910 along the distal side 920 and/or size of the angle A are determined to enable an additional correction to a deformity of anatomy of a patient. Often, when a patient has a deformity that calls for a Lapidus surgical procedure to correct the deformity, the patient also has a condition in which the metatarsal has rotated medially about the longitudinal axis 1202 (e.g., AP axis) such that sesamoids near the distal end of the metatarsal extend laterally rather than plantarly. Advantageously, embodiments of the present disclosure enable correction of both the orientation of the metatarsal as well as rotation of the metatarsal within the frontal plane to correct the position of the sesamoids.
