1. A surgical cutting guide, comprising:
a contact surface having a contour that matches a reverse contour of a biological structure, wherein the biological structure includes a bone having a length, a width, and a thickness, wherein the thickness is less than the length and the width;
a longitudinal axis extending between a proximal end and a distal end;
an extension portion at the distal end, the extension portion comprising a hook extending along the longitudinal axis, the hook configured to extend around an edge of an anatomical landmark on the biological structure, the hook having a hook width sized to extend around the thickness of the bone at the edge of the anatomical landmark so as to latch the surgical cutting guide onto the anatomical landmark with a remainder of the guide extending along the reverse contour of the biological structure away from the anatomical landmark;
one or more apertures defined on the surgical cutting guide; and
a cutting slot extending from the proximal end to the distal end.
