Content
A user may slide holes 1002a,b over pins in one or both bones. This can cause a desired rotation and translation of the first metatarsal 208 relative to the medial cuneiform 202. When a user places the parallel compressor/distractor 1000 on over the pins this can force the cut faces of the two bones to become parallel. Advantageously, the cut faces of the two bones can be forced to become parallel because the position, orientation, and angles of the holes of alignment feature(s) can be predefined and customized for each patient when the cutting guide 600 is fabricated.
