A metatarsus adductus technique may involve cutting an end of one or both of a second metatarsal and an intermediate cuneiform to create a wedge-shaped opening between the end of the second metatarsal and the intermediate cuneiform. The method may further involve cutting an end of one or both of a third metatarsal and a lateral cuneiform to also create a wedge-shaped opening between the end of the third metatarsal and the lateral cuneiform. The second metatarsal and the third metatarsal can then be moved in a transverse plane to close a metatarsus adductus angle. Movement of the second and third metatarsal may close the wedge-shaped openings forming during bone cutting. With the second and third metatarsals appropriately realigned, the clinician can fixate the moved position of the second metatarsal and the third metatarsal.

Disclosed herein is a technology for automatically calibrating a reference orientation of an implantable medical device (IMD) within a patient. In one example, a sensor of an IMD senses multiple orientation vectors of the IMD relative to a gravitational field. A processing circuit system of the IMD processes the multiple orientation vectors to identify an upright vector corresponding to an upright posture of the patient. The processing circuit system classifies the multiple orientation vectors relative to the upright vector to define a sagittal plane of the patient and a transverse plane of the patient. The processing circuit system determines a reference orientation of the IMD within the patient based on the upright vector, the sagittal plane, and the transverse plane. When the orientation of the IMD within the patient changes over time, the processing circuit system can recalibrate its reference orientation and accurately detect the patient's posture.
