Content
In the illustrated embodiment, the second resection guide 1824 includes a second resection feature 1866 that guides a cutting tool to resect at least part of a tibia 226 at a first angle 1896. Note that the first angle 1896 is not perpendicular (i.e., is oblique) to the mechanical axis 880 (and to a medial-lateral axis ML). The second resection feature 1866 enables a surgeon to form an angled curved osteotomy that can be referred to as an “angled cut”. The curved osteotomy curves within the sagittal plane 262 and extends into the bone at an angle in relation to the ML axis.
