Paragraph Number

251

Advantageously, the lateral inferior surface 2244 may extend from inferior side 2222 to the lateral edge 2246 at an angle such that the lateral inferior surface 2244 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 170 degrees. Of course, the lateral superior surface 2242 may extend from the superior side 2220 to the lateral edge 2246 at an angle. The angle of the lateral superior surface 2242 may enable use of the cutting guide 2200 in tighter openings and thus minimize the size of incisions used for a procedure.
