Content
The first metatarsal 230 may be secured to the first cuneiform 210, at least until proper bone in-growth has occurred between the first cuneiform 210 and the first metatarsal 230. In some embodiments, a bone plate (not shown) or other fastener (not shown) may be used to secure the first cuneiform 210 and the first metatarsal 230 together. Additional hardware (not shown) may be used to stabilize the position and/or orientation of the first proximal phalanx 600 relative to the first metatarsal 230, if desired. The surgical wound may be closed, and the foot 200 may be allowed to heal with the bunion deformity corrected.
