Abstract
Various embodiments disclosed herein relate to a humeral resection guide. The humeral resection guide can include a cutting block having a side surface and a cutting surface. The cutting surface can be configured to constrain at least one degree of freedom of movement of a cutting instrument during surgical alteration of the humerus. The humeral resection guide can include a boom extending away from the cutting surface of the cutting block, the boom comprising a cut depth adjustment feature disposed along at least a portion of a length of the boom. The humeral resection guide can include a cut depth indicator disposed at a population derived location along the length of the boom. The cut depth indicator can be configured to indicate that the cutting surface is at a target cut depth for the alteration of the humerus when the cut depth indicator is aligned with a support.
