Paragraph Number

110

As in the case of the Evans calcaneal osteotomy, a custom cutting guide, or cutting guide 1053, may be generated to help the surgeon obtain the correction that was previously modeled and/or planned using the computer models of the foot 200. The cutting guide 1053 may have a structure and function similar to that of the cutting guide 1043 used for the Evans calcaneal osteotomy. Such a cutting guide may have contoured surfaces that match the contours of the adjoining boney surfaces of the remainder of the second bone segment 1042 and/or the heel 1050.
