            "definition": "As used herein, \"bone-facing side\" refers to a side of an object, structure, instrument, or apparatus, such as an implant or instrument that is oriented toward or faces one or more bones of a patient when a device that includes the bone-facing side is in use. In one aspect, the bone-facing side may abut, touch, or contact a surface of a bone. In another aspect, the bone-facing side or parts of the bone-facing side may be close to, but not abut, touch, or contact a surface of the bone."
