Paragraph Number

50

In the illustrated embodiment, the cutting teeth 130 extend from the back side 104 and from no other side of the surgical saw blade 100. Consequently, the back side 104 is a single direction cutting side. A single direction cutting side is a side of a structure that is configured to cut tissue, but generally cuts the tissue when the structure moves in a single direction and does not cut, or at least does not cut as effectively, in other directions. A single direction cutting side may also be referred to as a unidirectional cutting side, a one direction cutting side, or the like.
