FIG. 25A illustrates a perspective view of the first cuneiform and the first metatarsal of FIG. 23 with one embodiment of a de-rotation handle. As an alternative to using a pin guide 2400 a surgeon may connect a de-rotation handle 2500 to fasteners 1956 of the distal bone attachment feature 1954/2254. The de-rotation handle 2500 may be connected to extend laterally such that once the first metatarsal 230 is de-rotated two more fasteners 1956 can be inserted into the first metatarsal 230 at a position that substantially aligns with the proximal alignment feature 1980/2280.
