Paragraph Number

280

Referring now to FIG. 24A, a surgeon may not know per-operatively how much rotation is needed or can be achieved given the condition and anatomy of the patient. Accordingly, the present disclosure may include a number of pin guides 2400 each with a different number of degrees of correction built into the placement of the distal alignment feature 1990/2290 relative to the bone attachment feature 2410. Examples include a 25 degree pin guide 2400, 30 degree pin guide 2400, 35 degree pin guide 2400, 40 degree pin guide 2400, 10 degree pin guide 2400, 15 degree pin guide 2400, and the like. Each pin guide 2400 that provides a different number of degrees of rotation may include a marking that identifies the number of degrees (e.g., “25”, “30”, etc.). Alternatively, or in addition, certain pin guide 2400 may be configured for use on a joint of a left foot versus a right foot. Similarly, such pin guide 2400 may include an indicator of which foot the guide is to be used with (e.g., “Left”, “Right”). Those of skill in the art will appreciate that the degrees for the pin guide 2400 may range from about 2 degrees to about 100 degrees.
