Content
Advantageously, the system 900 can help a surgeon in securing guides of the osteotomy system 900, such as a resection guide, as well as how to readily remove the guide (e.g., resection guide) without disturbing a reduction, shifting, reorienting, or repositioning one or more bones or parts of bones while removing the guide. In certain embodiments, the system 900 is configured to permit removal of a guide while keeping temporary fasteners in place for use in subsequent steps of an osteotomy procedure. Alternatively, or in addition, the system 900 may facilitate positioning of temporary fasteners during one step of a wedge osteotomy procedure for use in a subsequent step of the wedge osteotomy procedure. Removal of a guide during an osteotomy procedure can be particularly challenging where translation and/or rotation of the bones involved in the osteotomy procedure is required for the success of the osteotomy procedure. Advantageously, the system 900 accommodates translation and/or rotation of the bones during the osteotomy procedure while facilitating a successful outcome for the osteotomy procedure.
