Content
In certain embodiments, the osteotomy system 800 may include one or more resection guards 870. A resection guard 870 is a structure, device, part, component, or apparatus designed and/or positioned to mitigate or prevent resection beyond a particular point or boundary. The resection guard 870 can and/or does help a surgeon limit resection within a certain area of the bone as guided by a resection feature 826 and resection guard 870. In the illustrated embodiment, fasteners 810 may cooperate with the resection features 826 and/or openings in the resection features 826 to serve as both fasteners and as resection guards 870. Alternatively, or in addition, other structures may be used to serve as resection guards 870. In one embodiment, the fasteners 810 and/or resection guards 870 can be strategically positioned in the resection guides 820 and/or configured (e.g., having a particular length) such that the fasteners 810 and/or resection guards 870 also retain or retract soft tissue around an opening formed for performing the osteotomy.
