Paragraph Number

205

Advantageously, the lateral inferior surface 1944 may extend from inferior side 1922 to the lateral edge 1946 at an angle such that the lateral inferior surface 1944 does not impinge soft tissue near the joint (e.g., near a medial end of the joint). In certain embodiments, the angle may range between about 80 and about 170 degrees. Of course, the lateral superior surface 1942 may extend from the superior side 1920 to the lateral edge 1946 at an angle. The angle of the lateral superior surface 1942 may enable use of the cutting guide 1900 in tighter openings and thus minimize the size of incisions used for a procedure.
