Content
FIG. 22D illustrates the cutting guide 2200 from a view facing the medial side 2216. FIG. 22E illustrates the cutting guide 2200 from a view facing the lateral side 2218. In certain embodiments, the cutting guide 2200 may include one or more features that facilitate use of the cutting guide 2200 while avoiding certain soft tissue in the vicinity of a joint. For example, the medial side 2216 may include a medial superior surface 2232 and a medial inferior surface 2234 that meet at a medial edge 2236. Advantageously, the medial inferior surface 2234 may extend from inferior side 2222 to the medial edge 2236 at an angle such that the medial inferior surface 2234 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 170 degrees. In another example, the lateral side 2218 may include a lateral superior surface 2242 and a lateral inferior surface 2244 that meet at a lateral edge 2246 (See FIG. 22E). Of course, the medial superior surface 2232 may extend from the superior side 2220 to the medial edge 2236 at an angle. The angle of the medial superior surface 2232 may enable use of the cutting guide 2200 in tighter openings and thus minimize the size of incisions used for a procedure.
