The trajectory port 1324 extends through the body 1332. In one embodiment, the trajectory port 1324 includes an opening 1348 that extends from a top surface of the trajectory port 1324 through to a bottom surface of the trajectory port 1324. The trajectory port 1324 serves to guide a surgeon and indicates a desired trajectory for a temporary fastener, a cutting tool, or other instrumentation a surgeon may use for deploying a tendon, tendon substitute, tendon anchor, soft tissue, a graft, or the like. In one embodiment, the trajectory port 1324 is configured to guide a tool for forming a bone tunnel in a foot bone of a patient. The trajectory port 1324 can be defined at least partially based on a bone model of at least a portion of the foot bone. The bone model may be based on medical imaging of the foot bone of the patient.
