Content
FIG. 22 illustrates an exemplary system for an osteotomy 2200 using a medial approach, according to one embodiment. In one embodiment, the exemplary ankle fusion osteotomy system 2200 is specifically designed for use on a medial side of the patient’s ankle (e.g., using a medial approach). Those of skill in the art will appreciate that the same or a similar exemplary ankle fusion osteotomy system 2200 can be used on a lateral side of the patient’s ankle (e.g., using a lateral approach). Those of skill in the art will also appreciate that a surgical procedure that conducts an ankle fusion on an ankle from a medial or lateral approach generally includes steps to perform an osteotomy on the malleolus (medial or lateral depending on the approach) and retracting or holding a distal end of the malleolus out of the way for the osteotomy steps on the tibia 226 and/or talus 222.
