242

As shown, the cutting guide 2200 may have a body 2210 with a monolithic construction and the general shape of a rectangular shape. The body 2210 includes a proximal side 2212, a distal side 2214, a medial side 2216, a lateral side 2218, a superior side 2220, and an inferior side 2222. In the illustrated embodiment, the body 2210 may also include a proximal arm 2230 that extends from the body 2210 and a distal arm 2240 that extends from the body 2210. The proximal side 2212 is the side closest to the core of the patient when the cutting guide 2200 is in use. The distal side 2214 is the side furthest from the core of the patient when the cutting guide 2200 is in use. The medial side 2216 is the side facing medially when the cutting guide 2200 is in use. The lateral side 2218 is the side facing laterally when the cutting guide 2200 is in use. The superior side 2220 is the side facing up away from the bone(s) when the cutting guide 2200 is in use. The inferior side 2222 is the side facing down, facing, and/or contacting the bone(s) (e.g., contacting a surface of one or more bones) when the cutting guide 2200 is in use.
