Next, a surgeon may place the tendon trajectory guide 1120 on the target location, aligning a center axis of the opening 1134 with the inferior target marker 1108 location on the navicular 218. FIG. 12C illustrates the tendon trajectory guide 1120 positioned on the navicular 218 by way of seating the tendon trajectory guide 1120 on the plantar surface of the navicular 218. Advantageously, the bone engagement surface 1126 engages the surface of the navicular 218 to register the tendon trajectory guide 1120 in the desired location. In certain embodiments, the tendon trajectory guide 1120 may include landmark registration features that can facilitate positioning the tendon trajectory guide 1120 in the desired position. In one embodiment, the tendon trajectory guide 1120 may be referred to as a pin guide.
