FIGs. 16A-16C illustrate views of a tendon trajectory guide of FIG. 15A, according to one embodiment. FIG. 16A is an anterior-medial view of the lateral cuneiform 206 with a tendon trajectory guide 1320a positioned on its dorsal surface. It should be noted that the appendages 1502, in this embodiment, are configured to wrap around a medial, anterior, and lateral end of the lateral cuneiform 206 and extend into three of the joints of the lateral cuneiform 206. By including three appendages 1502, a surgeon can be assured that the tendon trajectory guide 1320a is positioned in a desired position determined preoperatively. In one embodiment, a surgeon determines the desired position. FIG. 16B is a posterior-lateral view of the lateral cuneiform 206 with the tendon trajectory guide 1320a positioned on its dorsal surface.
