Content
In one embodiment, FIG. 17E illustrates a stage in which a tibial resection guide 822 and a talus resection guide 824 have been removed. Pins in the tibia 226 may be retained and pins in the talus 222 may be retained. A first osteotomy has been formed at the distal end of the tibia 226 and a second osteotomy has been formed at the proximal end of the talus 222. A resection interface that includes the two osteotomies can now be closed. Once closed, and/or the osteotomies are reduced, a surgeon can proceed with fixation across the first osteotomy and the second osteotomy to enable fusion for the tibia 226 to the talus 222. In one embodiment, a surgeon may deploy a positioning guide 1534 to assist with the reduction and/or to hold the reduction in a stable relationship while fixation is deployed.
