Content
In certain embodiments, the template cutting guide models 1236 may vary in how the slots (e.g., resection features, See Figure 6) for the cuts are positioned, angled, and oriented relative to each other and/or to a longitudinal axis of respective bones at a joint for use with the template cutting guide model 1236. For example in one template cutting guide model 1236 the slot 1352 for a resection of a metatarsal bone may be perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the metatarsal bone and the slot 1350 may be angled relative to a longitudinal axis of the cuneiform or cuboid bone such that once the two bones are brought together the deformity is corrected. Alternatively, in another template cutting guide model 1236 the slot for a resection of a metatarsal bone may be angled relative to a longitudinal axis of the metatarsal bone and the slot 1350 may be perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the cuneiform or cuboid bone such that once the two bones are brought together the deformity is corrected.
