| abstract |
Systems, devices, and methods are provided for resecting an end of a bone using a cutting guide in which some aspect of the anterior or posterior cutting slots can be adjusted by the surgeon. In certain implementations, the systems, devices, and methods apply to a secondary cutting guide that is used to make a second cut to a bone surface that has already been resected with a conventional cutting guide. In certain implementations, the systems, devices, and methods apply to primary cutting guides used to make any of the anterior, posterior, distal, or chamfer cuts to a bone surface. In certain implementations, the cutting guides or other cutting components are box-matched to an implant in order to provide a desired press-fit. |
