Content
In certain embodiments, the bone engagement feature 912 can include a plurality of sections such as bone engagement surface 944a and/or bone engagement surface 944b. In certain embodiments, each of these bone engagement surfaces together or separately can be specifically configured based on the patient anatomy, surface topography, and/or surgeon preferences to facilitate positioning and/or placement of the resection guide 820c. In one embodiment, one bone engagement surface can have a different level of detail and/or fidelity than others. In certain embodiments, parts of the inferior side 916 may include a depression, opening, and/or void that is sized to not contact the bone of a patient and instead provides clearance for desired positioning of the resection guide 820c. This can be helpful in reducing the complexity and/or fabrication costs for the resection guide 820c.
