Content

A surgeon may engage the positioning feature 3620 with a fastener 3310 (e.g., a proximal fastener) and the positioning feature 3622 with a fastener 3310 (e.g., a distal fastener) in such an engagement, the body 3602 is configured to position the alignment guide 3604 for a desired entry point for a fastener 3310. A surgeon may then deploy the fastener 3310 through the proximal part 3406a and the distal part 3406b of the first proximal phalanx 3406 and then remove the fixation guide 3390a. In one embodiment, the positioning feature 3620 is implemented as a hole in the body 3602. The positioning feature 3622 may also be a hole. In the illustrated embodiment, the positioning feature 3620 is implemented as an elongated opening in the body 3602.
