Content
FIG. 20 illustrates an example cutting guide 1900 at a particular stage in an osteotomy procedure. In one embodiment, a surgeon has formed an incision transverse to a TMT joint 2000 with a dorsal approach. In the illustrated embodiment, the cutting guide 1900 may be configured (e.g., the bone engagement surface 1924) to seat between the dorsal surface and medial surface of both the first cuneiform 210 and the first metatarsal 230. The surgeon has also formed the incision down to the cortical bone surface of the first cuneiform 210 and the first metatarsal 230. Further, the surgeon has cut, or moved to the side, soft tissue covering the cortical bone surface of the first cuneiform 210 and the first metatarsal 230 sufficient to seat the bone engagement surface 1924 onto the cortical bone surface of the first cuneiform 210 and the first metatarsal 230.
