Paragraph Number

95

Advantageously, the lateral inferior surface 344 may extend from inferior side 322 to the lateral edge 346 at an angle such that the lateral inferior surface 344 does not impinge soft tissue near the joint (e.g., near a medial end of the joint). In certain embodiments, the angle may range between about 80 and about 170 degrees. Of course, the lateral superior surface 342 may extend from the superior side 320 to the lateral edge 346 at an angle. The angle of the lateral superior surface 342 may enable use of the cutting guide 300 in tighter openings and thus minimize the size of incisions used for a procedure.
