Paragraph Number

302

In addition, the bone engagement surface 946 of the tendon trajectory guide 920 is defined to match and correspond to the surface contour and/or landmarks on a dorsal surface of the bone, such as the calcaneus 224. This means that once the dorsal surface of the calcaneus 224 is exposed a surgeon can seat the tendon trajectory guide 920 in the same location and position and orientation as used preoperatively in models. Advantageously, the bone engagement surface 946 matches to the surface of the calcaneus 224 and/or any landmarks of the calcaneus 224 such that the surgeon can position the tendon trajectory guide 920 on the superior target marker 1008 each time and in each procedure. Such consistency can improve patient care.
