Content
Figure 7 illustrates that the cutting guide 600 can be secured to the bones using the proximal bone attachment feature 652 and/or distal bone attachment feature 654 each of which may include two or more fasteners 356. In certain embodiments, the fasteners 356 of the proximal bone attachment feature 652 are aligned with each other and perpendicular to the second slot 670. The fasteners 356 of the distal bone attachment feature 654 are aligned with each other and perpendicular to the first slot 660. The fit of the bone engagement surface 624 to the surfaces (dorsal in this embodiment) of the bones helps to secure the cutting guide 600 in place and ensure that resection of the bones using the first slot 660 and second slot 670 forms the desired cut surfaces for the procedure.
