Content
In certain embodiments, the template instrument models 436 may vary in how the slots (e.g., guide features, See FIG. 6) for the cuts are positioned, angled, and oriented relative to each other and/or to a longitudinal axis of respective bones at a joint for use with the template instrument model 436. For example in one template instrument model 436 the slot for a resection of a metatarsal bone may be perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the metatarsal bone and the slot may be angled relative to a longitudinal axis of the cuneiform or cuboid bone such that once the two bones are brought together the deformity is corrected. Alternatively, in another template instrument model 436 the slot for a resection of a metatarsal bone may be angled relative to a longitudinal axis of the metatarsal bone and the slot may be perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the cuneiform or cuboid bone such that once the two bones are brought together the deformity is corrected.
