Content
Typically, in an osteotomy for a condition such as a hallux valgus, it is desirable to rotate the first metatarsal 208 to address the condition. The first metatarsal 208 may be rotated for example to re-position distal plantar sesamoids from a lateral orientation to a more plantar orientation. Research has shown that performing such re-orientation mitigates recurrence of a hallux valgus condition. In such situations, the distal bone attachment feature 654 may serve as a bone attachment feature and as a reference for the positioning of a distal alignment feature 690 that is separate from the cutting guide 600.
