Content
In one embodiment, FIG. 21E illustrates a stage in which a first resection guide 1822 and a second resection guide 1824 have been removed. A curved osteotomy (e.g., first osteotomy) has been formed at the proximal end of the talus 222 and an angled curved osteotomy (e.g., second osteotomy) has been formed at the distal end of the tibia 226. The curved osteotomy and the angled curved osteotomy are reduced at the resection interface 884. Advantageously, a minimal amount of bone of the talus 222 and/or the tibia 226 has been removed and a stable, complete reduction is achieved. Note reference features, fixation pins, permanent and/or temporary fixation is omitted from the view in FIG. 21E but may be included in certain embodiments and/or may be added to hold the reduction place for healing and fusion.
