Paragraph Number

256

In alternative embodiments, a guide feature may be designed to guide a different type of cutter, such as a drill, mill, or side-cutting burr. In such embodiments, the guide feature may not be a slot, but may instead be a translatable or rotatable cutter retainer that guides translation and/or rotation of the cutter relative to the bone. In certain embodiments, two or more guide features may be replaced by a single guide feature sized to permit a surgeon to resect both a first cuneiform and a first metatarsal using a single cutting guide 2200.
