Content
The present disclosure includes a method of using the resection guide 820c and/or other components of the system 800. Initially, a surgeon may form an incision transverse to a tarsometatarsal (“TMT”) joint and/or a cuneonavicular joint with a dorsal approach. The resection guide 820c, in one example, may be configured (e.g., using one or more bone engagement features) to seat on and between a dorsal surface of both the medial cuneiform 202 and the first metatarsal 208. The surgeon forms the incision down to the cortical bone surface. The surgeon also cuts, or moves to the side, soft tissue covering the cortical bone surface of the bones sufficient to seat the bone engagement features to the cortical bone surface. In certain embodiments, this can include capturing and displacing the Extensor Hallucis Longus (EHL) tendon that may run along a lateral side of the TMT joint.
