61

Referring to FIG. 7, the cutting tooth 130 inside the detail circle 11 is offset toward the top (free end, top side 106) of the surgical saw blade 100 relative to the top cutting tooth 130b in the center column. In one embodiment, the offset may be equal to the width of the tooth 130. Each cutting tooth 130 may be angled or bent so that the free end (i.e., cutting edge 132) of the cutting tooth 130 protrudes outwardly from the remainder of the surgical saw blade 100. The cutting teeth 130 are shown protruding outwardly from the back side 104. Each cutting tooth 130 may include one or more side bevels 134 (See FIG. 11) along the edge(s) of the tooth, which may sharpen the tooth for cutting along the back side 104.
