Content
In the illustrated embodiment, the first resection feature 1864 and the second resection feature 1866 are configured to form one or more osteotomies for a “dome” osteotomy. A dome osteotomy is a form of osteotomy that results in resected bone surface resembling or taking the shape of a dome or hemisphere. In the illustrated embodiment, the dome osteotomy can be accomplished by a resection feature that forms a curved osteotomy. In certain embodiments, a curved osteotomy can be a challenge for form using a cutting tool such as a reciprocating saw blade. However, where the cutting tool is a burr, a curved osteotomy is easier to form.
