Paragraph Number

313

Next, in certain embodiments, a surgeon may remove the fastener 910 and then resect the bursal projection 223. After resection, the removed fastener 910 leaves a hole in the calcaneus 224 that can be used to redeploy the fastener 910 into the hole in the same location and trajectory. The fastener 910 in the same hole can then be used to guide a reamer over the fastener 910 to form a bone tunnel coaxial with the fastener 910. Alternatively, or in addition, a surgeon may use the hole formed by the fastener 910 to form a bone tunnel coaxial using other techniques.
