Content
FIG. 14 illustrates a stage of performing a surgical procedure using a lateral approach to form a closing wedge. FIG. 14 illustrates a dorsal perspective view of a foot and ankle including a talus 222, a calcaneus 224, a tibia 226, and a navicular 218. Certain patients may present with midfoot bones having a variety of conditions. Due to age, disease, deformity, or different pathologies, the bones of the midfoot may be deteriorated to the point that individual bones may be challenging to distinguish from each other. FIG. 14 illustrates one such example. The division between the talus 222 and the navicular 218 may be challenging to distinguish. Also, the medial cuneiform 202, intermediate cuneiform 204, and/or lateral cuneiform 206 may be challenging to distinguish from each other.
