Abstract

A tool comprises a first body shaped to detachably receive a bone implant having a first portion with a first flat surface adapted to be attached to a bone and a second portion with a second flat surface oriented at a pre-determined angle relative to the first flat surface, the bone implant having at least one fastener hole penetrating each of the first and second portions. A second body has a surface or member. The second body is adjustably connected to the first body to selectably position the surface or member relative to the bone implant.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Patent Application No. 14 / 011,244, filed August 27, 2013, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 695,162, filed August 30, 2012, at This is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to implants for osteotomies, and tools for inserting the implants. Background technique [0004] Calcaneal osteotomy is a form of surgical procedure used to correct severe hindfoot misalignment. During this procedure, the posterior calcaneus (calcaneus) is cut, and the tuberosity is moved either medially or laterally, depending on the direction of the misalignment to be corrected. For example, if the patient has flat feet, the heel may be offset medially to move the rear foot medially to improve weight distribution on the foot. On the other hand, if the patient has a high arched foot, a calcaneal osteo...
