Content
Figure 4 illustrates an example cutting guide 300 at a particular stage in an osteotomy procedure. In one embodiment, a surgeon has formed an incision transverse to a TMT joint 400 with a dorsal approach. In the illustrated embodiment, the cutting guide 300 may be configured (e.g., the bone engagement surface 324) to seat between the dorsal surface and medial surface of both the medial cuneiform 202 and the first metatarsal 208. The surgeon has also formed the incision down to the cortical bone surface of the medial cuneiform 202 and the first metatarsal 208. Further, the surgeon has cut, or moved to the side, soft tissue covering the cortical bone surface of the medial cuneiform 202 and the first metatarsal 208 sufficient to seat the bone engagement surface 324 onto the cortical bone surface of the medial cuneiform 202 and the first metatarsal 208.
