Content
Figure 45B illustrates a stage in the procedure in which the surgeon has created the osteotomy. In one embodiment, the anterior bone fragment 1806a is separated from the posterior bone fragment 1806b. The resection guide 4420 is not shown in this view. In another embodiment, the anterior bone fragment 1806a may be connected to the posterior bone fragment 1806b by way of a living hinge (e.g., a portion of a medial cortex opposite the osteotomy). Advantageously, fastener 4410a and fastener 4410b engage with the anterior bone fragment 1806a and fastener 2010c engages with the posterior bone fragment 1806b. Thus, a surgeon can manipulate these bone fragments as needed.
