Content
At this stage, the same pivoting resection guide 1902 is now configured to resect/dissect the first metatarsal 208. This change in configuration may be due to differences between the cuneiform cutter guide 1910 and the first metatarsal cutter guide 1912. Next, the user inserts the cutting tool 1926 into the first metatarsal cutter guide 1912 and resects/dissects the first metatarsal 208 by pivoting the cutting tool 1926 plantarly and/or dorsally to sweep through the bone. At this stage, the resection/dissection of the medial cuneiform 202 and the first metatarsal 208 is complete. The user may now remove the cuneiform attachment feature 1906 and the first metatarsal attachment feature 1908 with the cutting tool 1926. The cuneiform fastener 1914 and/or metatarsal fastener 1916 may be left in the bones to be used for subsequent temporary or permanent fixation and/or fusion of the two bones.
