Paragraph Number

108

Those of skill in the art will appreciate that the position and orientation of the first slot 360 and second slot 370 and the corresponding cut surface a surgeon can form using these resection features can vary depending on the anatomical structures of the patient, the osteotomy procedure being performed, preferences of the surgeon, the nature of the condition, and the like. For example in the illustrated embodiment, the medial end 364 of the first slot 360 is closer to the medial end 374 of the second slot 370 than the lateral end 362 is in relation to the lateral end 372. In another embodiment, the lateral end 362 of the first slot 360 may be closer to the lateral end 372 of the second slot 370 than the medial end 364 is in relation to the medial end 374. Of course in another embodiment, the first slot 360 and second slot 370 may be configured such that a first distance between lateral end 362 and lateral end 372 and a second distance between medial end 364 and medial end 374 are substantially the same.
