Paragraph Number

140

Advantageously, the lateral inferior surface 644 may extend from inferior side 622 to the lateral edge 646 at an angle such that the lateral inferior surface 644 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 170 degrees. Of course, the lateral superior surface 642 may extend from the superior side 620 to the lateral edge 646 at an angle. The angle of the lateral superior surface 642 may enable use of the cutting guide 600 in tighter openings and thus minimize the size of incisions used for a procedure.
