Content
In the illustrated embodiment, the proximal bone attachment feature 352 serves as both a bone attachment feature and as an alignment feature, e.g., proximal alignment feature 380. In this manner, the proximal bone attachment feature 352 can provide both a bone attachment feature and an alignment feature in a single feature. In situations where a second bone of a joint, such as a first metatarsal 208, does not need to be rotated, translated, and/or re-oriented to mitigate a patient’s condition, the distal bone attachment feature 354 may also serve as both a bone attachment feature and as an alignment feature, e.g., distal alignment feature 390.
