Abstract: Osteotomy fixation systems and surgical methods are provided herein. A fixation system can comprise a body, a curved portion, a dorsal extension, a medial extension, and at least three fixation holes. The curved portion can be configured to conform to a curvature of a first cuneiform. The dorsal extension can be configured to conform to a curvature of a dorsal side of a first metatarsal. The medial extension can be configured to conform to a curvature of a medial side of the first metatarsal.

Abstract: Surgical instruments for performing wedge-shaped osteotomies are disclosed herein. One surgical instrument includes a body including a distal end, a proximal end, and a top surface. The top surface includes a slope extending upward and along a single plane from the distal end to the proximal end. Multiple columns of cutting blades positioned on the top surface and each of the cutting blades includes a respective uniform height that extends vertically along at least a portion of the slope. Another surgical instrument includes a top surface including a flat plane. Multiple columns of cutting blades are positioned on the top surface and the columns of cutting blades are spaced apart and positioned on at least a portion of the top surface. Each cutting blade extends horizontally along the top surface and includes an increasing slope extending upward and along a single plane from the distal end to the proximal end.
