  • Patent number: 11484326
    Abstract: According to one example, an adjustable cut guide for resecting a bone can include a base, a cam, an actuator, and an insert. The base can include a channel extending between a first end and a second end and a slot intersecting the channel. The cam can extend into the slot, and the cam can be coupled to the base within the slot to rotate between a first position and a second position. The actuator can be disposed in the slot, where the actuator can be translatable by rotation of the cam between an extended position when the cam is in the first position and a retracted position when the cam is in the second position. The insert can be disposed within the channel of the base and the insert can be secured relative to the base by the actuator when the actuator is in the extended position.
