In one embodiment, a surgeon may place the tendon trajectory guide 920 on the target location, aligning a center axis of the opening 948 with the superior target marker 1008 location on the calcaneus 224. FIG. 10C illustrates the tendon trajectory guide 920 positioned on the calcaneus 224 by way of seating the tendon trajectory guide 920 on the dorsal surface of the calcaneus 224. Advantageously, the bone engagement surface 946 engages the surface of the calcaneus 224 to register the tendon trajectory guide 920 in the desired location. In certain embodiments, the bone engagement features 928 can facilitate positioning the tendon trajectory guide 920 in the desired position. In one embodiment, the tendon trajectory guide 920 may be referred to as a pin guide.
