Content
Referring still to FIG. 12, reduction of a first osteotomy of a cuneiform with a second osteotomy of a metatarsal closes the angle A from its initial number of degrees to zero degrees or substantially zero degrees and brings fourth trajectory 1110 into alignment and to be parallel to DP axis 1204. The metatarsal rotates within the frontal plane to provide a correction. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that alternative embodiments of the resection guide 820c may include a first bone attachment feature 908 and a second bone attachment feature 910 that deploys fasteners that are aligned along dorsal axis 1206 and longitudinal axis 1202. In such embodiments, a surgeon may manually rotate the metatarsal. Alternatively, or in addition, a compression block and/or reduction guide may include holes that are not aligned (e.g., proximal holes may not align with distal holes, which extend into the device at an angle similar to angle A) that receive the fasteners such that sliding of the compression block and/or reduction guide over the fasteners rotates the metatarsal.
