Content
In some embodiments, an implant 810 may be patient-specific. For example, the implant 810 may have a cuneiform-facing side 820 that is shaped and/or sized to be secured to the adjoining, resected surface of the medial cuneiform 202, and a metatarsal-facing side 830 that is shaped and/or sized to be secured to the adjoining, resected surface of the first metatarsal 208. As the resections made to the first metatarsal 208 and the medial cuneiform 202 may both planar, the cuneiform-facing side 820 and/or the metatarsal-facing side 830 may also be planar. However, the cuneiform-facing side 820 and/or the metatarsal-facing side 830 may advantageously each be shaped to match the profile of the resected surface of the medial cuneiform 202 and the first metatarsal 208, respectively.
