Paragraph Number

131

As shown, the cutting guide 600 may have a body 610 with a monolithic construction and the general shape of a rectangular shape. The body 610 includes a proximal side 612, a distal side 614, a medial side 616, a lateral side 618, a superior side 620, and an inferior side 622. In the illustrated embodiment, the body 610 may also include a proximal arm 630 that extends from the body 610 and a distal arm 640 that extends from the body 610. The proximal side 612 is the side closest to the core of the patient when the cutting guide 600 is in use. The distal side 614 is the side furthest from the core of the patient when the cutting guide 600 is in use. The medial side 616 is the side facing medially when the cutting guide 600 is in use. The lateral side 618 is the side facing laterally when the cutting guide 600 is in use. The superior side 620 is the side facing up away from the bone(s) when the cutting guide 600 is in use. The inferior side 622 is the side facing down, facing, and/or contacting the bone(s) (e.g., contacting a surface of one or more bones) when the cutting guide 600 is in use.
