Content
Similarly, the distal resection feature 904 is angled relative to the AP axis 1102. In the illustrated embodiment, the distal resection feature 904 extends through the body 900 from the superior side 914 to the inferior side 916 along a second trajectory 1106 in a plantar direction at an angle B in relation to AP axis 1102. This orientation of the distal resection feature 904 enables a cutting tool forming a second osteotomy into a bone to form a cut surface that is also at angle B relative to AP axis 1102. In certain embodiments, angle B can range between about 0 degrees to about 170 degrees. In certain embodiments, angle B 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. In the illustrated embodiment, the angle B is a 90-degree angle. Making one of the angles A or B for the first trajectory 1104 or second trajectory 1106 perpendicular to the AP axis 1102 can be desirable since a perpendicular cut or resection may be easier to complete, and in particular may be easier to complete on certain bones.
