Content
Alternatively, whereas in the present disclosure, a resection guide 1820 can be fabricated with a bone facing side (e.g., medial side 1908) that is contoured to a shape, size, contour, and configuration of a surface of the bone, those of skill in the art will appreciate that first resection feature 1864 and/or second resection feature 1866 may extend perpendicular through a body of the resection guide 1820. However, a change in the resection trajectory can be accomplished by changing a distance between a non-bone facing side surface (e.g., lateral side 1910) and a bone facing side (e.g., medial side 1908) surface of a body of the resection guide 1820 such that one end of a resection guide 1820 is closer to the bone than the other side when the resection guide 1820 is deployed. Thus, by varying the depth of the body across the bone facing side (e.g., medial side 1908) of the body, a designer can cause the a resection feature to contact the bone at a desired angle (e.g., first angle 1896 and/or second angle 1898).
