“Declination 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, downward relative to a longitudinal axis of an osteoplasty tool, bone rasp, or other instrument. A declination 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. Declination angles may be selected to enhance procedural access, improve shaping or contouring efficiency, improve visibility, or control material removal rates. Examples include the orientation of rasp features for bone resection, cutting teeth configured for angled engagement, or abrading surfaces oriented downward relative to a tool axis, or the like.
