Content
As discussed above, reference features may be used for multiple purposes during a surgical procedure. Using reference features for multiple purposes can be advantageous because the bones of a patient (particularly in a foot or hand) are small and surgical procedures are more successful the fewer number of guide pins are used and the smaller the guide pins are. Using reference features such as guide pins for multiple purposes can reduce the number of guide pins used and/or reduce the number of holes formed in bones of the patient. These advantages can improve patient care and successful outcomes.
