Ankle fusion device, instrumentation and methods

A device for positioning at least one guidewire in a calcaneus bone and talus bone comprising:

• a frame configured and dimensioned to at least partially surround the calcaneus bone and the talus bone, the frame including:
• a guidewire target configured and dimensioned to be inserted between the talus bone and a tibia bone proximate a talar dome of the talus bone;
• a first guidewire sleeve radially disposed about a first guidewire axis, the first guidewire axis being aligned with the guidewire target;
• and
• a second guidewire template attached to the frame and having an alignment guide extending therefrom and a second guidewire sleeve radially disposed about a second guidewire axis, the second guidewire axis extends towards the guidewire target when the alignment guide is substantially aligned with a second metatarsal bone.

• a first guidewire sleeve radially disposed about a first guidewire axis, the first guidewire axis being aligned with the guidewire target;
• and
• a tibial alignment guide including an extension having at least one alignment member, the tibial alignment guide engaged with the frame and configured to extend proximally therefrom along a longitudinal axis substantially parallel to the first guidewire axis, wherein the at least one alignment member is configured and positioned to intersect with a plane aligned with the first guidewire axis.
