Content
FIG. 14 illustrates one example of a resection guide 1220 coupled to the bones using bone attachment features 724 that include fasteners 710, e.g., K-wires. In one embodiment, a surgeon has formed an incision down to the cortical bone surface with a lateral approach. In the illustrated embodiment, the resection guide 1220 may be configured (e.g., using the bone engagement surface 726) to seat near where the lateral cuneiform 206 contacts the navicular 218. The surgeon has deployed two or more fasteners 710 (e.g., K-wires) through the holes 764 of the bone attachment features 724. The surgeon has also resected the bones to remove a wedge shape that extends from the lateral side of the foot toward the medial side. Here, the two cuts may form two cut surfaces that form a wedge shape of bone that has been removed to perform a midfoot closing wedge osteotomy.
