Content
At this stage, a surgeon is prepared to reduce the osteotomies and prepare for provisional and/or permanent fixation. Next, a surgeon slips the first proximal opening 1544 and the second proximal opening 1546 over the tibia pins and the first distal opening 1548 and second distal opening 1550. Next, the surgeon slides the positioning guide 1534 towards the bones. As the positioning guide 1534 slides towards the bones, the osteotomies are reduced and the two resected surface of the bones are brought together. In one embodiment, the talus 222 may be translated toward the tibia 226 until the talus 222 abuts the tibia 226. At this stage, the positioning guide 1534 may be in contact with or near the surface of the bones. The positioning guide 1534 is in its final position and the resection interface is closed. A surgeon can now prepare for a subsequent step such as fixation.
