Abstract: A surgical blade having an attachment base positioned at a proximal end and a wedge-shaped blade. The wedge-shaped blade includes a cutting tip having a first plurality of cutting teeth, which define a cutting edge along the distal end for starting an osteotomy. The wedge-shaped blade includes a second plurality of teeth positioned along rows. Each row is positioned at offset planes from adjacent rows along the wedge-shaped blade.

Abstract: A surgical blade and method for performing a one-pass wedge osteotomy. The blade includes a body portion, having a cutting tip on a first end for initially cutting into the bone; a cutting slope comprising multiple rows of cutting teeth at multiple planes to resect bone as it enters, leaving a wedge osteotomy; a shaft of a predetermined length and width for supporting the cutting slope; and a saw attachment base on a second end of the blade for engaging a base of a saw to cause the blade to oscillate and perform the wedge osteotomy.
