Content
In certain embodiments, the handle coupler 1212 may also include at least one arm 1250. The arm 1250 may extend radially from the handle 1004 near a distal handle end 1208 of the handle 1004. The arm 1250 is configured to engage with one or the other of the first bone attachment feature 1006 and the second bone attachment feature 1008. For example, in the illustrated embodiment, the handle 1004 includes a first arm 1250a extending from one side and a second arm 1250b extending from an opposite side. The arm 1250 are configured to seat and/or rotate with a recess 1018 (See FIGs. 14A, 14B) in a superior side 1104 of the first bone attachment feature 1006 and/or a superior side 1134 of the second bone attachment feature 1008. The recesses may be shaped to receive the arms 1250a, 1250b that extend from the handle 1004 to engage the handle 1004 when coupled to the cutter guide 1010. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that the pivoting resection guide 1002 can be used with or without a handle 1004. Where a handle 1004 is not used, the user may pivot a cutting tool 1026 using a driver of the cutting tool 1026, which may include a handle of its own. In such an embodiment, the driver may serve the same or a similar function to the handle 1004 described in embodiments herein.
