Content
Next, a surgeon, or other user, may form 1404 a bone tunnel 862 comprising a distal tunnel end (e.g., distal end 868) and a proximal tunnel end (e.g., proximal end 866), the bone tunnel 862 is configured such that the distal tunnel end connects the bone pocket 864 and the proximal tunnel end connects to an external surface of the metatarsal bone 816. The position, length and trajectory of the bone tunnel 862 may vary based on a variety of factors and may be determined, at least in part, using a guide that may seat, index, or register on the bone pocket 864. FIG. 15B illustrates one example after completion of the forming step 1404.
