Content
In one embodiment, a surgeon uses the positioning guide 1534 after a first osteotomy of a first bone and a second osteotomy of a second bone. In one embodiment, the two bones are a tibia 226 and a talus 222 and the positioning guide 1534 is configured to have a size that extends along a superior-inferior axis across the resection interface, the reduced osteotomies. In one embodiment, a surgeon has retained the tibia pins in the tibia 226 and the talus pins in the talus 222. These pins may come from a tibial bone attachment feature and a talus bone attachment feature. The positioning guide 1534 is configured to cooperate with one of the tibial bone attachment feature and the talus bone attachment feature to abut a first osteotomy against a second osteotomy in a stable relationship to close the resection interface.
