Content
In the illustrated embodiment, the first angle 1150 and the second angle 1152 are right angles. Of course, in certain embodiments, the first angle 1150 may not be at a right angle with respect to the distal side 1114 of the first bone attachment feature 1006 and the second angle 1152 may not be at a right angle with respect to the proximal side 1142 of the second bone attachment feature 1008. Alternatively, or in addition, the first height 1120 and/or second height 1122 may be defined such that the trajectory 1124 of the cutter guide 1010 extends at an angle that is not perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 1154 of at least one of the bones that is to be resected/dissected using the pivoting resection guide 1002. Accordingly, in this manner, the angle of the trajectory 1124 can be predetermined and/or can be patient-specific to meet the needs of the patient, the angle needed for a correction, the preferences of a surgeon, or the like.
