Paragraph Number

145

In alternative embodiments, a resection feature may be designed to guide a different type of cutter, such as a drill, mill, or side-cutting burr. In such embodiments, the resection feature may not be a slot, but may instead be a translatable or rotatable cutter retainer that guides translation and/or rotation of the cutter relative to the bone. In certain embodiments, two or more resection features may be replaced by a single resection feature sized to permit a surgeon to resect both a first cuneiform and a first metatarsal using a single cutting guide 600.
