As used herein, "bone engagement surface" refers to a surface of an object, instrument, or apparatus, such as an implant that is oriented toward or faces one or more bones of a patient. In one aspect, the bone engagement surface may abut, touch, or contact a surface of a bone. In another aspect, the bone engagement surface or parts of the bone engagement surface may be close to, but not abut, touch, or contact a surface of the bone. In certain aspects, the bone engagement surface can be configured to engage with a surface of one or more bones. Such a bone engagement surface may include projections and recesses that correspond to and match projections and recesses of the one or more bone surfaces. In certain embodiments, a bone engagement surface is an implementation and/or part of a structure that implements a bone engagement feature.
