Content
FIG. 19D illustrates the cutting guide 1900 from a view facing the medial side 1916. FIG. 19E illustrates the cutting guide 1900 from a view facing the lateral side 1918. In certain embodiments, the cutting guide 1900 may include one or more features that facilitate use of the cutting guide 1900 while avoiding certain soft tissue in the vicinity of a joint. For example, the medial side 1916 may include a medial superior surface 1932 and a medial inferior surface 1934 that meet at a medial edge 1936. Advantageously, the medial inferior surface 1934 may extend from inferior side 1922 to the medial edge 1936 at an angle such that the medial inferior surface 1934 does not impinge soft tissue near the joint (e.g., near a medial end of the joint). In certain embodiments, the angle may range between about 80 and about 170 degrees. In another example, the lateral side 1918 may include a lateral superior surface 1942 and a lateral inferior surface 1944 that meet at a lateral edge 1946. Of course, the medial superior surface 1932 may extend from the superior side 1920 to the medial edge 1936 at an angle. The angle of the medial superior surface 1932 may enable use of the cutting guide 1900 in tighter openings and thus minimize the size of incisions used for a procedure.
