Content
There are many ways to make cuts of the medial cuneiform 202 and the first metatarsal 208 to produce a correction. In one embodiment, the first metatarsal 208 can be cut perpendicular to the long axis of the first metatarsal 208 and the cut of the medial cuneiform 202 can be angled in one or more planes. In another embodiment, the medial cuneiform 202 can be cut perpendicular to a long axis of a toe (e.g. a desired corrected position of the first metatarsal 208) of the patient and the cut of the first metatarsal 208 can be angled in one or more planes. Alternatively, or in addition, both a cut of the first metatarsal 208 and the medial cuneiform 202 may be angled in one or more planes such that when both bones are fused together at the newly formed cut faces a desired orientation of the bones is achieved.
