Content
In certain embodiments, the bone engagement surface 624 may include a cuneiform apposition portion 626 and a metatarsal apposition portion 628. As shown, the cuneiform apposition portion 626 may be contoured to match the contour of the surface of the first cuneiform on which it is to rest, and the metatarsal apposition portion 628 may similarly be contoured to match the contour of the surface of the first metatarsal on which it is to rest. (See Figure 6C) Thus, the body 610 may have only one stable position and orientation relative to the first cuneiform and the first metatarsal during a surgical osteotomy for correcting the condition.
