Embodiments of a cutting assembly for a bone and tissue resection device bone disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a cutting assembly can include a blade shaft having a distal end with an arcuate blade, a sleeve surrounding the blade shaft and arcuate blade, the sleeve having a distal end defining an opening sized and shaped to allow the arcuate blade to translate distally beyond the distal end of the sleeve, a footplate positioned beyond the distal end of the sleeve and configured to resist distal movement of material being cut by the arcuate blade when the arcuate blade is translated distally against the material, and a support extending from the distal end of the sleeve to the footplate, the support element defining a cutting region between the distal end the sleeve and the footplate.
