Paragraph Number

276

FIG. 24A illustrates a perspective view of the first cuneiform 210 and the first metatarsal 230 of FIG. 23 after resection of the bones. After resection, a surgeon remove the cutting guide 1900/2200 by sliding it off of the fasteners 1956 and keep the fasteners 1956 connected to the bones. The fasteners 1956 on the first cuneiform 210 can serve as a proximal alignment feature 1980/2280. The fasteners 1956 on the first metatarsal 230 can serve as a guide for a distal alignment feature 1990/2290. For example, the surgeon can slide pin guide 2400 over the fasteners 1956 on the first metatarsal 230. The pin guide 2400 can then identify where to position the distal alignment feature 1990/2290.
