Content
The pin guide 2400 also includes a distal alignment feature 1990/2290. In certain embodiments, the distal alignment feature 1990/2290 is offset from the bone attachment feature 2410. In certain embodiments, the bone attachment feature 2410 is offset from the bone attachment feature 2410 by a certain distance that corresponds to a number of degrees of rotation of the first metatarsal 230 from an original position to a new positioned after rotating the first metatarsal 230 about its longitudinal axis 1976/2276. The first metatarsal 230 can be rotated a certain number of degrees about its longitudinal axis 1976/2276 in either a clockwise or a counterclockwise direction. Typically, the first metatarsal 230 is rotated counterclockwise to address a condition such as a hallux valgus condition.
