Content
The first metatarsal 208 may be secured to the medial cuneiform 202, at least until proper bone in-growth has occurred between the medial cuneiform 202 and the first metatarsal 208. In some embodiments, a bone plate (not shown) or other fastener (not shown) may be used to secure the medial cuneiform 202 and the first metatarsal 208 together. Additional hardware (not shown) may be used to stabilize the position and/or orientation of the first proximal phalanx 230 relative to the first metatarsal 208, if desired. The surgical wound may be closed, and the foot 200 may be allowed to heal with the bunion deformity corrected.
