Content
In one embodiment, FIG. 14E illustrates a stage in which a distal resection guide 820b has been slid 1314 over the set of distal guide pins 930 until the distal resection guide 820b contacts the first metatarsal 208. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that in certain embodiments prior to deploying the distal resection guide 820b a surgeon may remove the proximal resection guide 820a. The distal resection guide 820b is securely in a desired location for an osteotomy of the first metatarsal 208. Next a surgeon may operate the distal resection guide 820b by inserting 1316 a cutting tool such as a rectangular oscillating blade attached to a manual, mechanical, pneumatic, or electric driver into a resection feature to cut the first metatarsal 208 for the osteotomy.
