Paragraph Number

248

In the illustrated embodiment, the one or more fasteners 1010 of the proximal bone attachment feature 1058 may initially extend into the bone perpendicular to the body 1032 and the fastener 1010 of the distal bone attachment feature 1060 may initially extend into the bone at an angle. See FIG. 16B. Consequently, in certain embodiments, the fastener 1010 of the distal bone attachment feature 1060 may need to be removed so that the resection guide 1020b can be slid off of the fasteners 1010 of the proximal bone attachment feature 1058 since the angle of the fastener 1010 of the distal bone attachment feature 1060 may prevent sliding off of the resection guide 1020b from the proximal bone attachment feature 1058 and the distal bone attachment feature 1060 with the fastener 1010 of both bone attachment features in place. With the resection guide 1020b removed, in accordance with certain procedures, the fastener 1010 of the distal bone attachment feature 1060 may be reinserted into the same hole in the bone fragment 224 it was in before removal.
