Content
The proximal arm retainer 1234 provides interference within the proximal arm groove 1232 such that the proximal arm 1230 is retained within the opening 1226. Of course, a set screw is but one example of a suitable proximal arm retainer 1234. In one embodiment, the proximal arm retainer 1234 is a thumbscrew, which may enable a user to readily release a proximal arm 1230 so that the cutter guide 1010 can be swapped with another one. The proximal arm retainer 1234 may also be a pin, a screw, a bolt, or the like. In the illustrated embodiment, the first arm angle 1236 is a right angle such that the longitudinal axis of the cutter guide 1010 is parallel to the distal side 1114 of the first bone attachment feature 1006. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that the first arm angle 1236 can be a variety of angles and can be patient-specific such that the trajectory 1124 of the cutter guide 1010 can be predetermined based, at least in part on the first arm angle 1236.
