Content
In certain embodiments, four contact points may be used. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that with respect to the contact points for the bone engagement feature 912 structures other than a contoured surface can be used. For example, projections from the inferior side 916 can extend towards and contact the bone. Alternatively, or in addition, sections of the inferior side 916 can be recessed such that sections, portions, or areas of contoured sections can be formed that are contoured to mirror and match and/or mate with corresponding areas on a surface of a bone. The size, shape, surface contour, and configuration of these contoured sections can be patient-specific and can be defined using a bone model of a bone of a patient. These areas of contoured sections may resemble pads or feet that contact a surface or other structure of a bone.
