Paragraph Number

183

Advantageously, the landmark registration feature 1028 can provide a surgeon with confidence and assurance in the placement and positioning of the resection guide 1020 on a bone because the landmark registration feature 1028 can be configured to engage with a particular landmark on the bone or other patient anatomy (e.g., a projection or a depression or cavity). Alternatively, or in addition, the landmark registration feature 1028 can include a contoured bone engagement surface that can further facilitate registration of the landmark registration feature 1028 and/or guide 1020 with the bone. In this manner, a surgeon can be assured intraoperatively that the resection guide 1020 is positioned in accordance with a preoperative plan.
