Paragraph Number

335

In one embodiment, a surgeon can also determine, preoperatively, whether the vertex 2102 will be inside the bone or outside the bone. For example, the surgeon may decide to have the vertex 2102 outside the bone a distance away from a medial surface 2108 of the bone (e.g., calcaneus 224). The position of the vertex 2102 may depend on the surgical procedure, surgeon preference, a surgeon’s planned correction, or the like. In such an embodiment, the first trajectory 2042 may converge with the second trajectory 2044 at a vertex 2102 outside the bone and spaced a distance from the medial cortex 2110 of the bone.
