Paragraph Number

88

The body 310 may have a bone facing side 330 that, upon attachment of the body 310 to the first cuneiform 210 and the first metatarsal 230, is to face toward the first cuneiform 210 and the first metatarsal 230. The body 310 may also have an outward-facing side 332 that, upon attachment of the body 310 to the first cuneiform 210 and the first metatarsal 230, faces outward, away from the first cuneiform 210 and the first metatarsal 230. Further, the body 310 may have one or more bone attachment features that facilitate attachment of the body 310 to the first cuneiform 210 and/or the first metatarsal 230. Such bone attachment features may comprise any of a wide variety of holes, spikes, fastening devices, and/or the like. As embodied in Figures 3A through 3D, the bone attachment features may take the form of holes 340 that extend from the bone facing side 330 to the outward-facing side 332 and/or one or more fixation devices. The holes 340 may be shaped to accommodate pins, K-wires, and/or other elongated bone fixation elements that can be anchored in the first cuneiform 210 and/or the first metatarsal 230 to keep the cutting guide 300 in place.
