Paragraph Number

152

In one embodiment, the alignment feature 1260, such as alignment feature 1260a, can include one or more bone attachment features that may take the form of holes 1278 that extend from a bone facing side 1230 to the outward-facing side 1232 and/or one or more fixation devices. In certain embodiments, a pair of parallel holes 1278 form a guide for pins 1280 (See FIG. 13) as part of a bone attachment feature. Advantageously, the holes 1278 may be angled with respect to a bone such as the first metatarsal. The angle for the holes 1278 may be customized based on the patient and the amount of adjustment desired for the first metatarsal.
