Content
Figure 45D illustrates a stage in the surgical osteotomy procedure. The pin guide 4440, the resection guide 4420, and the third fastener 4410c have been removed. The fasteners 4410a,b and reduction fastener 4442 remain engaged with the bone fragments of the calcaneus 1806. The anterior bone fragment 1806a and posterior bone fragment 1806b are shown reduced. The surgeon may reduce the bone fragments manually or the surgeon may use a complementary component 1930 such as one embodiment of a positioning guide 2300. In the illustrated embodiment, the action of sliding a positioning guide 2300 on the first fastener 4410a, second fastener 4410b, and reduction fastener 4442 can cause the posterior bone fragment 1806b to translate relative to the anterior bone fragment 1806a.
