Content
FIG. 15B illustrates a pivoting resection guide 1502a positioned for resecting a first bone and FIG. 15C illustrates a pivoting resection guide 1502b positioned for resecting a second bone. In certain embodiments, the pivoting resection guide 1502a and pivoting resection guide 1502b may differ from each other in order to make a desired resection at a desired angle relative to one or more planes of a foot and/or axis of a toe or joint. In FIG. 15B, the pivoting resection guide 1502a is configured to resect a proximal end of a first metatarsal 208 and at a predetermined angle that may be patient-specific. For example, the cutter guide 1510 may pivot about a pivot axis 1014 (See FIG. 15D) that is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis 1302 of the cutter guide 1510 and the cutting tool 1526 deployed within the cutter guide 1510. The pivoting resection guide 1502a may be configured such that the longitudinal axis 1302 is perpendicular to a long axis of the first metatarsal 208.
