Content
In one embodiment, a compression block may include four holes one for each fastener of the first bone attachment feature 908 and the second bone attachment feature 910. These four holes may be parallel to each other as they extend through the compression block and may be aligned with each other longitudinally (e.g., along dorsal axis 1206). Consequently, as the compression block is slid down the fasteners, the fasteners of the second bone attachment feature 910 are aligned with the fasteners of the first bone attachment feature 908 along the longitudinal axis 1202 and/or the dorsal axis 1206. This alignment causes the metatarsal to rotate about its long axis, about longitudinal axis 1202, within the frontal plane. This rotation can correct a position of sesamoids of the metatarsal. The metatarsal rotates from a deformed position to a corrected position.
