Content
The distal arm retainer 1242 provides interference within the distal arm groove 1240 such that the distal arm 1238 is retained within the opening 1228. Of course, a set screw is but one example of a suitable distal arm retainer 1242. In one embodiment, the distal arm retainer 1242 is a thumbscrew, which may enable a user to readily release a distal arm 1238 so that the cutter guide 1010 can be swapped with another one. The distal arm retainer 1242 may also be a pin, a screw, a bolt, or the like. In the illustrated embodiment, the second arm angle 1244 is a right angle such that the longitudinal axis of the cutter guide 1010 is parallel to the proximal side 1142 of the second bone attachment feature 1008. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that the second arm angle 1244 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 second arm angle 1244.
