Content
In another embodiment, a resection feature (e.g., first resection feature 1864 and/or second resection feature 1866) can be implemented by way of a slot that has a curve, or curved, shape. The resection feature may extend into a body of a resection guide 1820 from one side and out an opposite side and the resection feature includes a first end and a second end. The resection feature may have a curve or curved shape between the first end and the second end. Such a resection feature is referred to herein as a curved slot. In one embodiment, the curved slot may have a curved cross section similar to the curve shape illustrated in the example first resection feature 1864 and/or second resection feature 1866. In one embodiment, a surgeon may insert a cutting tool such as a burr into bone through a curved slot and follow a path between the first end and the second end of the curved slot to resect a curved osteotomy.
