270

FIG. 23 illustrates an example cutting guide 2200 seated transverse to a tarsometatarsal (“TMT”) joint 2000. The TMT joint 2000 includes a lateral end 2002 and a medial end 2004. In certain embodiments, such as the illustrated embodiment, the body 2210 is configured to extend between the lateral end 2002 and the medial end 2004. In this manner, the first slot 2260 and second slot 2270 extend along the TMT joint 2000 in a lateral medial direction and are long enough that a surgeon can readily resect the respective ends of the respective bones of the joint. In addition, the proximal arm 2230 and the distal arm 2240 may be aligned with each other. In one embodiment, the proximal arm 2230 and distal arm 2240 may extend proximal to the lateral side 2218 and/or proximal to the lateral end 2002 of the joint (e.g., TMT joint 2000).
