Abstract
A system for guiding a cutting tool in an osteotomy procedure includes a cutting block. The cutting block includes an aperture extending through a thickness of the cutting block and having a length and a width. The width of the aperture is defined between a first interior surface of the cutting block and a second interior surface of the cutting block opposing the first interior surface. The system further includes a sleeve. The sleeve includes a slot configured for receiving a sawblade and configured for insertion into the aperture of the cutting block such that the sleeve contacts either the first interior surface or the second interior surface without contacting the other interior surface.
