1. A metatarsal bunion correction system comprising:
a bone preparation guide comprising a body defining a guide surface configured to be positioned over a proximal end of a first metatarsal and/or a distal end of a medial cuneiform, the guide surface being configured to guide a tissue removing instrument for cutting the proximal end of the first metatarsal and/or the distal end of the medial cuneiform;
a bone positioning guide configured to move the first metatarsal to treat a bunion deformity by at least:
moving the first metatarsal in a transverse plane to reduce an intermetatarsal angle between the first metatarsal and a second metatarsal, and
rotating the first metatarsal in a frontal plane; and
at least one fixation device positionable across a tarsal-metatarsal joint separating the first metatarsal from the medial cuneiform, the at least one fixation device being configured to fixate a moved position of the first metatarsal relative to the medial cuneiform for fusion.
