Content
Where the curved osteotomy resects ends of two bones of a joint, the curved osteotomy has a superior surface/side (resected surface of one bone) and an inferior surface/side (resected surface of another bone). In certain embodiments, the bone engagement surface 2018 is configured to engage with both sides of the curved osteotomy. As shown in the example of FIG. 21D, these side surfaces of the osteotomy can be generally smooth and curved or rounded. Accordingly, FIG. 20H illustrates that the bone engagement surface 2018, in one embodiment, includes a superior bone engagement surface 2020 and an inferior bone engagement surface 2022.
