Content
A user may review an initial design of the bone tunnel guide 920 and a model of the bone that will receive the bone tunnel for a surgical procedure. The user may identify four distinct landmark configurations on, at, or near where a bone tunnel is planned for the surgical procedure. Accordingly, the surgeon/user may provide user instructions 604 that four bone engagement features 928 be included in a bone tunnel guide 920 for the surgical procedure. Each of the four-bone engagement features 928 may be specifically designed and/or engineered to engage with each of the four landmark configurations. In one embodiment, one of the landmark configurations may be a bony surface; another landmark configuration may be a joint; landmark configurations may be a bone distal to a joint; another landmark configurations may be a different part of a bone surface. In this example, the number of landmark configurations (four) is directly proportional to the number of bone engagement features 928 (four).
