Content
In the illustrated embodiment, the second resection guide 2224 includes a second resection feature 2266 that guides a cutting tool to resect at least part of a tibia 226 at a first angle. Note that the first angle is not perpendicular (i.e., the first angle is oblique) to the mechanical axis 880 (and to a medial-lateral axis ML). The second resection feature 2266 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.
