Content
In the illustrated embodiment, the proximal resection feature 902 is positioned between the proximal side 918 and the window 906. As explained, the proximal resection feature 902 extends through the body 900 from the superior side 914 to the inferior side 916 along a first trajectory 1104 in a plantar direction at an angle A in relation to AP axis 1102. This orientation of the proximal resection feature 902 enables a cutting tool forming a first osteotomy into a bone to form a cut surface that is also at angle A relative to AP axis 1102. In certain embodiments, angle A can range between about 0 degrees to about 170 degrees. In certain embodiments, angle A may start at 0 degrees and then increase to a positive number of degrees as illustrated or decrease to a negative number of degrees depending on how a surgeon may prescribe adjustments for a correction.
