An osteotomy procedure may be performed to correct a misalignment of a bone, such as a bunion deformity. In some examples, the osteotomy procedure involves making a spherical-shaped cut transecting a first metatarsal, thereby forming a first metatarsal portion having a spherical-shaped projection and a second metatarsal portion having a spherical-shaped recess. The method further involves moving the second metatarsal portion in at least two planes relative to the first metatarsal portion, thereby adjusting an anatomical alignment of the second metatarsal portion.

Osteotomy procedure for correcting bone misalignment

An osteotomy procedure may be performed to correct a misalignment of a bone, such as a bunion deformity. In some examples, the osteotomy procedure involves making a first crescentic-shaped cut transecting a first metatarsal, thereby forming a concave-shaped end and a convex-shaped end on opposed bone portions. The method further involves making a second crescentic-shaped cut across the concave-shaped end of one bone portion and thereafter moving the bone portions relative to each other in multiple planes to correct an anatomical misalignment.
