Content
As an osteotomy is performed in the resection feature 826 a surgeon may have limited to no information about how deep the osteotomy is extending into the bone. Of course, a surgeon can check depth using medical imaging such as fluoroscopy, however this can add time and expense to a procedure. In one embodiment, a preoperative plan included in the osteotomy system 800 can identify the width and length of cutting tool, such as a saw for a surgeon to use for each of the osteotomies. The saw may include laser etch depth markings on the blade such that as the blade enters a surgeon can read the depth from the blade. Alternatively, or in addition, the present disclosure can provide one or more stops to assist a surgeon in managing depth of the osteotomy.
