Paragraph Number

312

In one embodiment, FIG. 14C illustrates the TMT after method step 1308 is completed. The navigation guide has been removed. The set of proximal guide pins 928 are positioned in the medial cuneiform 202 and the set of distal guide pins 930 are positioned in the first metatarsal 208. The initial and accurate positioning of the set of proximal guide pins 928 and the set of distal guide pins 930 can be an important step in a surgical procedure because other steps and/or instruments may rely on accurate positioning of these pins to perform their respective desired functions and aspects. A surgeon can now proceed with the procedure with confidence that the reference features will provide accurate guidance that corresponds to the preplanned and desired correction, based on the medical imaging of the patient’s foot.
