Abstract
A minimally invasive precision cutting guide, targeting guide, implant, and other instruments comprise a system that permits a physician to surgically correct a bunion or similar deformity with a minimum disruption of surrounding soft tissue. The precision cutting guide ensures that the physician cuts bone in the proper location and orientation. Each of the instruments is designed to minimize disruption to surrounding soft tissue. The system also precisely locates an orthopedic implant such that it can fixate two bone fragments after an osteotomy, or two bones after surgery. The precision cutting guide, targeting guide, implant, and other instruments are provided in a sterile kit for the convenience of the surgeon and safety of the patient.
