Content
At any stage of a surgical procedure, a surgeon can use fluoroscopy or take a number of X-ray images to confirm and/or validate a preoperative plan 506 and/or to confirm that steps have been taken and proceed according to the surgeon’s plan. In one example preoperative plan 506, a surgeon may have virtually repositioned a bone model of the first metatarsal 208 from a deformed orientation to a desired orientation (e.g., such that a longitudinal axis of the first metatarsal 208 will be parallel or substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the second metatarsal 210, IM angle of about 0). Based on a preoperative plan 506 that includes such a correction for the first metatarsal 208, the surgeon next may use an image like medical image 1400 to check a number of other characteristics of the resection guide 820c.
