Content
In certain embodiments, the pivoting resection guide 1002 includes one or more stops referred to as rotational stops. These one or more stops serve to stop, prevent, slow, or hinder rotational movement of the cutter guide 1010 about the pivot axis 1014. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that implementations of the one or more stops can take a variety of forms. Referring to FIG. 12B, in one example, one or more of the proximal arm 1230 and the other distal arm 1238 can be configured to include one or more tabs 1252 in addition, one or more of the openings 1226, 1228 can be configured to such that an arm that includes a tab 1252 is capable of rotating with the cutter guide 1010 about the pivot axis 1014 through a set range of angles but no further. For example, the openings 1226, 1228 may include a cross section that is semi-circular on one side and then angle to interfere with one or more of the tabs 1252 as the distal arm 1238 and/or proximal arm 1230 rotates within the openings 1226, 1228. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that tabs 1252 is but one example of how one of skill in the art may implement a stop to manage a range or arc of pivot that the cutter guide 1010 can guide a cutting tool 1026 through.
