Abstract
A nested cutting block includes at least a first slot for guiding a saw blade during a first bone cutting operation. The first block has a cavity formed therein. A first securing interlock is formed on the first block. A second block is detachably mounted in the cavity and includes at least a second slot for guiding the saw blade during a second bone cutting operation. A second securing interlock is attached to the second block. An interlock member engages the first and second securing interlocks for detachably engaging the second block within the first block. The first bone cutting operation is made with the first and second blocks interconnected and mounted in a cutting position. The second bone cutting operation may be made with the first and second blocks nested together in the cutting position. Alternatively, the second bone cutting operation may also be made with the first block detached from the second block and the second block remaining in the cutting position.
