Content
In the illustrated embodiment, one bone engagement feature 928a extends from the lateral side 940 and one bone engagement feature 928 extends from the medial side 938. Advantageously, the bone engagement feature 928 can provide a surgeon with confidence and assurance in the placement and positioning of the bone tunnel guide 920 on the bone because one or more of the bone engagement features 928 can be configured to engage with one or more particular landmarks on the bone (e.g., a projection, an eminence, a bone spur, a depression, a cavity, or the like). Alternatively, or in addition, the bone engagement feature 928 can include a contoured bone engagement surface 946 that can further facilitate registration of the bone engagement feature 928 and/or bone tunnel guide 920 with the bone. In this manner, a surgeon can be assured intraoperatively that the bone tunnel guide 920 is being positioned in accordance with a preoperative plan.
