Content
Referring now to FIGS. 18A and 18B, in certain embodiments, a cutting tool 1026 can be configured to control a depth that the cutting tool 1026 can be inserted into the opening 1206. In one embodiment, a section along the length of the cutting tool 1026 may start out with a diameter D2 which fits within the cutting tool 1026 and gradually increase at some point between the guide section 1224 and the proximal end 1202 such that at some point the cutting tool 1026 can move no further into the opening 1206. In this manner, the depth of insertion of the cutting tool 1026 can be controlled. In certain embodiments, this depth may be patient-specific and/or may be predetermined or requested by a surgeon for a particular surgical procedure.
