Content
Once a first osteotomy is performed using resection feature 826 of the tibial resection guide 822 and a second osteotomy is performed using the resection feature 826 (e.g., 826a, 826b) of the talus resection guide 824, a surgeon can then reduce the osteotomies. When a surgeon reduces the osteotomies and abuts the first osteotomy against the second osteotomy, the reduced osteotomies remediate a deformity of the patient. The tibia 226 and talus 222 can now fuse to complete the arthrodesis. It should be noted that in the illustrated embodiment the position, alignment, orientation, and/or trajectories for the resection features 826 are selected for an arthrodesis, no implants will be used between the first osteotomy and the second osteotomy.
