"Straight cut" refers to a type of cut that may be used for a surgical procedure. Generally, a straight cut is a cut in tissue (soft tissue or hard tissue) that is perpendicular to a surface where the cut is made and extends within and/or through the tissue along a straight line. Advantageously, straight cuts may be easier for a surgeon to perform than an angled cut or a curved cut. In certain embodiments, a straight cut is made with a guide (e.g., cut guide, resection guide, and/or resection feature). Alternatively, or in addition, a user may make a straight cut free-hand (without the aide of a guide, instrument, or instrumentation).
