Paragraph Number

279

In one embodiment, the bone engagement surface(s) 946 is configured such that the bone engagement surface 946 forms substantially a mirror image of a bone surface. For example, the bone engagement surface 946 may correspond to a surface of a bone such that bone tunnel guide 920 provides haptic feedback to a user when the bone tunnel guide 920 translates to the position corresponding to the modeled position of the bone tunnel guide model engaging the bone model. This means a surgeon can position a bone tunnel guide 920 in an approximate position to the modeled position and then translate the bone tunnel guide 920 medially, laterally, anteriorly, posteriorly, or the like until the bone engagement surface 946 and/or the the bone engagement feature(s) 928, alone or together with the bone engagement surface 946, provide that haptic feedback to a surgeon confirming that the bone tunnel guide 920 has now assumed the substantially same position on the bone as the modeled position used to design the bone tunnel guide 920.
