Paragraph Number

202

In certain embodiments, the bone engagement surface 1924 may include a cuneiform apposition portion 1926 and a metatarsal apposition portion 1928. As shown, the cuneiform apposition portion 1926 may be contoured to match the contour of the surface of the first cuneiform on which it is to rest, and the metatarsal apposition portion 1928 may similarly be contoured to match the contour of the surface of the first metatarsal on which it is to rest. (See FIG. 19C) Thus, the body 1910 may have only one stable position and orientation relative to the first cuneiform and the first metatarsal during a surgical osteotomy for correcting the condition.
