Abstract
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for excising a joint between first and second bones to define a resected joint, approximating the first and second bones to reduce the resected joint, and fixing the first and second bones relative to each other. The excising step can be performed using a cut guide that is movable from a first orientation to cut the first bone to a second orientation to cut the second bone. A compressor block can be driven over temporary fixation members that extends into the first and second bones to reduce the resected joint. A staple, along or in combination with other fixation elements, can then permanently fix the first bone to the second bone.
