Paragraph Number

144

In certain embodiments, the bone engagement surfaces 926 are patient-specific: contoured to match a surface of one or more bones the resection guide 920 contacts during the procedure. Alternatively, or in addition, the bone engagement surface 926 may not be patient-specific and may, or may not, contact a bone surface during use of the resection guide 920. Those of skill in the art appreciate that one or more sides of any of the members of the system 900 may include one or more bone engagement surfaces 926. Consequently, one or more sides of the fasteners 910, the resection guide(s) 920, the complementary components 930, and/or the implants 996 may include one or more bone engagement surfaces 926.
