Paragraph Number

215

In certain embodiments, both a proximal resection guide 820a and a distal resection guide 820b can include a resection feature that is angled at an angle that is not 90 degrees with respect to a long axis of the bone being cut. Alternatively, or in addition, only one of the resection guides 820 may include a resection feature that is angled at an angle that is not 90 degrees with respect to a long axis of the bone being cut and the other resection guide 820 may include a resection feature that is angled at an angle that is 90 degrees with respect to a long axis of the bone being cut. In certain embodiments, using a resection guide 820 with a resection feature that is angled 90 degrees relative to a long axis of the bone being cut can enable a surgeon to make an easier osteotomy of a bone using the resection guide 820. In addition, in certain embodiments, the osteotomy may be more precise and more accurate than using a resection guide 820 with a resection feature that is not angled 90 degrees relative to a long axis of the bone being cut.
