Abstract
An independent, surgical screw placement system makes use of an aiming jig. The aiming jig has components and features which can be suitably adjusted so that an independent or extra-plate screw avoids crossing the nominal trajectories of other joint screws securing a surgical plate to a foot in an associated surgery. The aiming jig has a telescoping arm which can be adjusted to a variety of potential trajectories for the independent surgical screw until a desired trajectory for such independent screw has been determined.
