Content
Advantageously, the third fastener 1610 can serve as a guard 1616. The third fastener 1610 can be made of a rigid and hard material such as metal that cannot be cut, or is not readily cut, by a surgical cutting tool. Once the third fastener 1610 is deployed, the third fastener 1610 serves as a guard 1616 or cutting boundary to prevent resection of a first bone through, or beyond, the position of the third fastener 1610. In the illustrated embodiment, the cutting tool may be a reciprocating saw blade that is wider than the third fastener 1610 such that the third fastener 1610 serves as an effective guard 1616.
