Content

In one embodiment, the first guide hole 3422a has a depth, diameter, and/or orientation configured to receive a first leg 3428 of the bone staple 3424. Similarly, the second guide hole 3422b has a depth, diameter, and/or orientation configured to receive a second leg 3430 of the bone staple 3424. In this manner, the holes formed for the resection guide 3320 can be reused for fixation. Minimizing the number of holes in a bone, especially, a small bone such as those in the foot of a patient can significantly improve the outcomes for the patient and/or the recovery.
