“Inclination Angle” refers to an angle that directs a structural component, such as a foot, cutting face, cutting teeth, rasp feature, abrading surface, working surface, set of bone-engagement features, or the like, upward relative to a longitudinal axis of an osteoplasty tool, bone rasp, or other instrument. An inclination angle may be established by an angle feature and may govern the positioning of the structural component relative to the instrument’s main body to optimize engagement with a target surface. Inclination angles may be selected to enhance procedural access, improve cutting or shaping efficiency, improve visibility, or control material removal rates. Examples include the orientation of rasp features on a rasp blade, a cutting edge on a saw blade, or an abrading surface on a burr, or the like.
