Content
The handle 1004 includes a distal handle end 1208 and a proximal handle end 1210 opposite the distal handle end 1208. The distal handle end 1208 includes a handle coupler 1212. The handle coupler 1212 is configured to couple the handle 1004 to the cutter guide 1010, at least temporarily. The handle 1004 also includes an opening 1214 that extends from the proximal handle end 1210 to the distal handle end 1208. In certain embodiments, the opening 1214 is coaxial with a longitudinal axis 1216 of the handle 1004. The opening 1214 is sized to accept the cutting tool 1026. In particular, the handle 1004 is configured to pass the cutting tool 1026 through the handle 1004. The handle coupler 1212 couples the handle 1004 to the cutter guide 1010. Coupling the handle 1004 to the cutter guide 1010 forms a first-class lever. The first-class lever magnifies a load force applied to a bone in contact with the cutting tool 1026 near the distal end 1204 of the cutting tool 1026 based on an effort force applied by a user toward the proximal handle end 1210.
