Notably, the joint probe 320 (not visible) may reside between the first cuneiform 210 and the first metatarsal 230 (i.e., distal to the first cuneiform 210 and proximal to the first metatarsal 230). The surgeon may need to cut the metatarsocuneiform joint between the first cuneiform 210 and the first metatarsal 230 to form a space between the first cuneiform 210 and the first metatarsal 230 to receive the joint probe 320. Positioning the joint probe 320 in this space may further help to ensure that the cutting guide 300 is properly aligned relative to the first cuneiform 210 and the first metatarsal 230.
