Abstract
An orthopedic instrument assembly for placing an implant into a medial cuneiform of a foot, the assembly includes a targeting guide having a body with an elongated linear base. A threaded rack is disposed along the elongated linear base. A compression-distraction frame pre-compresses the joint prior to placement of a joint fixation element. The compression-distraction frame is translatably connected to the rack of the guide body base. The compression-distraction frame is releasably, statically connectable to a first metatarsal bone and a post. The post has a generally cylindrical shape and a longitudinal axis, and has a plurality of threaded cylindrical bores disposed therethrough at predefined angles relative to the longitudinal axis. The post is releasably, statically connectable to the targeting guide.
