Paragraph Number

315

For example, in certain medial ankle and/or lateral ankle surgical procedures a surgeon may prefer to deploy one or more fasteners at a predetermined angle or trajectory into one or more bones of the midfoot prior to making any resection. In certain embodiments, these fasteners 1010 may be deployed into bone attachment features 1024 of a resection guide 920. The surgeon may then use imaging techniques such as fluoroscopy to verify that the fasteners are in the desired position and have the desired trajectory and/or have a desired depth. If the imaging indicates the fasteners are in not a desired position with a desired orientation, a surgeon may re-deploy one or more fasteners and then re-check the position using medical imaging equipment.
