Paragraph Number

2

A variety of surgical procedures can be performed to relieve pain in or restore function of various parts of a patient’s body including conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or other joint conditions through minimally invasive or invasive surgery that involve bones. Such procedures may include resect one or more of the bones, including bones of one or more joints. For example, during partial or total knee replacement (TKR) arthroplasty, a surgeon may desire to resect bone to prepare the bone to accept an implant or prosthesis. A variety of resection instrumentation exists. However, in certain procedures a surgeon may desire to resect tissue (hard and/or soft) with a very fine degree of control and accuracy. Accordingly, a need exists for improved resection devices, systems, and/or methods that provide high degrees of accuracy, control, and precision. In this manner, a surgeon can resect as little of the tissue as needed for the procedure.
