Content
A cutter guide is a guide of the pivoting resection guide 1002 that guides a cutting tool. Advantageously, such resections can be done using very small incisions, incisions just large enough to insert the cutting tool. Alternatively, or in addition, such resections can be done using incisions just large enough to insert the pivoting resection guide 1002 and engage the pivoting resection guide 1002 to the bone. In certain embodiments, the bone resection can be done subcutaneously. In other embodiments, bone resection can be done percutaneously through an incision (e.g., stab incision) made by, or made for, the cutting tool while the pivoting resection guide 1002 presses against a surface of the skin at the incision location. Accordingly, the pivoting resection guide 1002 provides a minimally invasive surgical (MIS) instrument for use in osteotomies.
