Paragraph Number

145

In the embodiment of Figures 12A through 12F, the guide features may guide a reciprocating planar blade, such as that of a surgical bone saw, that forms planar cuts in the first cuneiform and the first metatarsal. Thus, the guide features may take the form of a first slot 1250 and a second slot 1252, which may be positioned toward the center of the body 1210. Thus, upon proper positioning of the cutting guide 1200, the first slot 1250 may be positioned over the first cuneiform to facilitate resection of the first cuneiform, while the second slot 1252 may be positioned over the first metatarsal to facilitate resection of the first metatarsal.
