Content
In the illustrated embodiment, the cuneiform cutter guide 1910 and the first metatarsal cutter guide 1912 may differ with respect to the first arm angle 1236 and the second arm angle 1244. On the cuneiform cutter guide 1910 the first arm angle 1236 and the second arm angle 1244 may be right angles such that the operation of the pivoting resection guide 1902 forms a straight cut parallel to the cuneiform fastener 1914 and the metatarsal fastener 1916. However, the first metatarsal cutter guide 1912 may include a proximal arm 1230 that extends from the first metatarsal cutter guide 1912 toward the cuneiform attachment feature 1906 at a first arm angle 1930 and a distal arm 1238 that extends from the first metatarsal cutter guide 1912 toward the cuneiform attachment feature 1906 at a second arm angle 1932. The first arm angle 1930 may differ from the first arm angle 1236 and the second arm angle 1932 may differ from the second arm angle 1244. The different angles for the first arm angle 1930 and second arm angle 1932 may be defined such that a distal end of the first metatarsal cutter guide 1912 points more distal than the distal end of the cuneiform cutter guide 1910. In this manner, the angles for the first arm angle 1930 and second arm angle 1932 can be defined to direct the cutting tool 1926 for resection/dissection of the first metatarsal 208.
