View Edit Delete	PER-17	"Reduction guide" or "reducer" refers to any structure, apparatus, surface, device, system, feature, or aspect configured, designed, engineered, or fabricated to reduce or aide a user in the reduction of one bone or bone fragment or implant in relation to another bone or bone fragment or implant.	61	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:05 PM
View Edit Delete	PER-17	"Rotation guide" or "rotator" refers to any structure, apparatus, surface, device, system, feature, or aspect configured, designed, engineered, or fabricated to rotate or aid a user in the rotation of one structure relative to another structure. In certain embodiments, a rotation guide or rotator may be used to help a surgeon rotate one or more bones, parts of bones, bone fragment, an implant, or other anatomical structure, either alone or in relation to another one or more bones, parts of bones, bone fragments, implants, or other anatomical structures.	62	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:05 PM
View Edit Delete	PER-17	"Trajectory guide" or "trajectory indicator" or "targeting guide" refers to any structure, apparatus, surface, device, system, feature, or aspect configured to indicate, identify, guide, place, position, or otherwise assist in marking or deploying a fastener or other structure along a desired trajectory for one or more subsequent steps in a procedure.	63	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:05 PM

Figure 46C illustrates a rear/medial view (showing the medial side) of the resection guide 4420. The resection guide 4420 can include a bone engagement surface 4433. The bone engagement surface 4433 may include any or all or some of the features, advantages, structures, and/or benefits as the bone engagement surface 2033 described herein. In one embodiment, the resection guide 4420 may include a plurality of openings 4434 that extend from a lateral side to a medial side. The plurality of openings 4434 may assist a surgeon by giving more visibility to anatomy below the resection guide 4420.	550	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:03 PM

View Edit Delete	PER-12	A pin guide 4440 may include an arm 4406 configured to engage at least one of a first resection feature 4422a and a second resection feature 4422b. The arm 4406 may be connected to a bone engagement feature 4408 configured to receive a fastener such as a reduction fastener 4442, a pin, and/or a K-wire. Similarly, any of the features and/or aspects of the pin guide 4440 (e.g., arm 4406, bone engagement feature 4408, etc.) may be patient-specific as described herein and may be based, at least in part, on bone models of one or more bones or portions of bones of a patient.	553	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:03 PM
View Edit Delete	PER-12	Figure 47A illustrates a plantar perspective view of the pin guide 4440. The arm 4406 may include an opening 4420 sized and/or configured to receive a bridge (e.g., posterior bridge and/or anterior bridge) of a resection feature 4422. In certain embodiments, the arm 4406 may engage the resection feature 4422 by sliding the opening 4420 over the bridge. Alternatively, or in addition, another part of the arm 4406 may slide down into one or more openings of a resection feature 4422. In one embodiment, the resection guide 4420 may be similar to the resection guide 2220 described herein.	554	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:03 PM
View Edit Delete	PER-12	In one embodiment, the resection guide 4420 may be part of a coupler 4412. The coupler 4412 may be similar to coupler 2212 described herein. The coupler 4412 enables the pin guide 4440 to be connected and/or disconnected from a complementary component 1930. The complementary component 1930 may serve as a reference or guide for the placement, positioning, and/or orientation of fasteners (e.g., reduction fastener 4442) into bone and/or bone fragments during a surgical procedure. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that the coupler 4412 may be implemented using a variety of configurations.	555	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:03 PM
View Edit Delete	PER-12	In the illustrated embodiment, the coupler 4412 may be implemented as a fin 4418 that includes the opening 4420. The fin 4418 may slide down into one or more openings of a resection feature 4422 and secure the orientation and/or position of the pin guide 4400. The fin 4418 may be similar to fin 2218 and may be planar.	556	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:03 PM

The resection features 4422 may be configured to accept and pass an end of a fastener such as first fastener 4410a, second fastener 4410b, and/or third fastener 4410c. Referring to Figure 45C, the passage slot 4444 allows the pin guide 4440 to slide over the third fastener 4410c to take its desired position for deployment of the passage slot 4444	557	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:03 PM

To correct or mitigate these conditions an osteotomy guide according to the present disclosure can be used to address dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, or angular correction of a bone segment or any bone. The osteotomy guide could fit on any aspect in the angles would be determined based on the desired degree of correction. In certain embodiments, this osteotomy guide can be used within a portion of bone as opposed to over a joint.	559	Added by DJM Jan 2024	1/6/24, 10:03 PM
