Paragraph Number

282

In one embodiment, after a surgeon selects that desired amount of offset by choosing a pin guide 2400 with a desired number of degrees, the surgeon positions the selected pin guide 2400 on the first metatarsal 230 by sliding the holes 2412 over the fasteners 1956. Placement of the pin guide 2400 positions the distal alignment feature 1990/2290 for subsequent rotation of the bone. Next, a surgeon may insert two fasteners 1956 into holes of the distal alignment feature 1990/2290. The fasteners 1956 may mark the position for alignment and sit securely in the bone.
