ABSTRACT:
As part of the process of realigning the distal ends of a bone having an intermediate section of width W, an arcuate osteotomy is performed on the intermediate section using a cutter having an arcuate cutting edge of a diameter slightly greater than W and an arcuate extent of 180.degree.-N.degree.. The blade is oscillated through an arc of approximately N.degree. to form a crescentic joint having a maximum bearing area.
