Content
This shaping may be accomplished by custom-designing the implant 610 for the patient, using the same models (for example, from CT scans) of the first metatarsus 230 and the first cuneiform 210 that were used to generate the cutting guide 300. Thus, the implant 610 may have a shape that provides secure attachment and/or fusion between the first metatarsus 230 and the first cuneiform 210 while avoiding proud edges or other protruding features that could otherwise interfere with surrounding tissues.
