Content
FIG. 23 illustrates that the cutting guide 2200 can be secured to the bones using the proximal bone attachment feature 2252 and/or distal bone attachment feature 2254 each of which may include two or more fasteners 1956. In certain embodiments, the fasteners 1956 of the proximal bone attachment feature 2252 are aligned with each other and perpendicular to the second slot 2270. The fasteners 1956 of the distal bone attachment feature 2254 are aligned with each other and perpendicular to the first slot 2260. The fit of the bone engagement surface 2224 to the surfaces (dorsal in this embodiment) of the bones helps to secure the cutting guide 2200 in place and ensure that resection of the bones using the first slot 2260 and second slot 2270 forms the desired cut surfaces for the procedure.
