Abstract:
A bone positioning device can include a fixation pin for attachment to a first bone and a fixation pin for attachment to a second bone. A first block having an aperture can be included for slidably receiving a fixation pin, and a second block having an aperture can be included for slidably receiving a fixation pin. A multi-axis joint can connect the first block and the second block, where the multi-axis joint allows the first second blocks to move with respect to each other about more than one axis.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of fixing the orientation of a first bone with respect to a second bone, comprising the steps of:\n attaching a first fixation pin to a first bone; attaching a second fixation pin to a second bone; inserting the first fixation pin within a first aperture of a first block; inserting the second fixation pin within a second aperture of a second block; positioning the first block along and about the first fixation pin; actuating a first set screw to fix a position of the first block along and about the first fixation pin positioning the second block along and about the second fixation pin; actuating a second set screw to fix a position of the second block along and about the second fixation pin; adjusting the position of the first block with respect to the second block about at least a first axis and a second axis; actuating a third set screw to fix a position about the first axis; and actuating a fourth set screw to fix a position about the second axis.
