Paragraph Number

271

For example, in a tendon transfer, a surgeon may insert a temporary fastener such as a K-wire into the opening 948 and deploy the K-wire into bone that contacts the inferior surface (inferior side 936) of the bone tunnel guide 920. Alternatively, or in addition, a surgeon may deploy fastener 910 into the opening 948 and into bone contacting an inferior surface of the bone tunnel guide 920. In certain embodiments, the opening 948 has a circular cross-section and has a diameter sized to accept the fastener 910 or a cutting tool that a surgeon wants to use for the procedure.
