Content
In the illustrated embodiment, the third fastener 1610 serves as a trajectory guide 1614 and indicates that resection within the resection feature 1022b will result in a resection that travels medial to lateral starting plantar and advancing dorsally. Advantageously, the third fastener 1610 can be made of a radio-opaque material such as metal such that once the third fastener 1610 is deployed, a surgeon can take an x-ray or flouroscopy image of the ankle and visually see the trajectory the planned resection will take. By visually confirming the trajectory for a planned resection a surgeon can be assured that the surgical procedure is proceeding as expected.
