Content

FIG. 9C illustrates one example of a patient-specific bone engagement feature 906. The patient-specific bone engagement feature 906 is configured to engage at least a portion of one or more bones of a patient during a surgical procedure. The patient-specific bone engagement feature 906 engages the one or more bones and/or joints in a manner that positions the resection guide 720 in a predetermined position. Advantageously, the patient-specific bone engagement feature 906 includes features, structures, and/or aspects that provide feedback to a user moving the resection guide 720 in relation to surfaces of one or more bones of the patient. These features, structures, and/or aspects of the patient-specific bone engagement feature 906 cause the resection guide 720 to shift and tilt as a user moves the resection guide 720 to an approximate position on the bones. However, since the features, structures, and/or aspects are mirror images of the recesses, bumps, projections, and/or surface features of the one or more bones, the resection guide 720 will lock into place once the resection guide 720 is moved to the same (or substantially the same) position on or relative to the one or more bones as the predetermined position. The patient-specific bone engagement feature 906 causes the resection guide 720 to lock and/or snap into place once the correct position that matches the predetermined position is located.
