Paragraph Number

89

The bone facing side 330 may be custom contoured to match the shapes of the first cuneiform 210 and/or the first metatarsal 230. As embodied in Figures 3A through 3D, the bone facing side 330 may have a cuneiform apposition portion 342 shaped to lie against the dorsal surface of the first cuneiform 210, and a metatarsal apposition portion 344 shaped to lie against the dorsal surface of the first metatarsal 230. As shown, the cuneiform apposition portion 342 may be contoured to match the contour of the dorsal surface of the first cuneiform 210 on which it is to rest, and the metatarsal apposition portion 344 may similarly be contoured to match the contour of the dorsal surface of the first metatarsal 230 on which it is to rest. Thus, the body 310 may have only one stable position and orientation relative to the first cuneiform 210 and the first metatarsal 230.
