Content
A positioning guide 780 (also referred to as a positioner) can help a surgeon position one or more bones, parts of bones, or other parts of a patient as part of a procedure. For example, a positioning guide 780 may hold one bone or bone fragment stable and hold one or more other bone fragments in a desired position while permanent or temporary fixation is deployed. In certain embodiments, the positioning guide 780 may hold bone fragments in a reduced position, and thus may function as both a positioning guide 780 and/or a reduction guide 760.
