Content
Generally, in a soft tissue rearrangement such as a tendon deployment surgical procedure a surgeon seeks to position the tendon in an optimal location on, or in, a bone to provide improved mobility and use of an extremity. For example, in a Flexor Hallucis Longus (FHL) tendon transfer, a surgeon plans to position a relocated end of an FHL tendon on a dorsal surface of a calcaneus 224, centered along the medial-lateral axis 1004. In one embodiment, a surgeon may plan to position the FHL tendon approximately where a superior target marker 1008 is illustrated in FIG. 10A. The superior target marker 1008 indicates where a surgeon desires the attachment point to be for a deployed tendon (e.g., either a transferred tendon or attachment of another tendon or graft).
