Paragraph Number

354

In the illustrated embodiment, the tendon trajectory guide 1120 can include a bone engagement surface 1126 on at least part of the inferior side 1146 of the body 1134 of the tendon trajectory guide 1120. In one embodiment, the bone engagement surface 1126 can be defined at least in part based on a bone model of a bone that the inferior side 1146 will face and/or contact during use. In certain embodiments, this means that the bone engagement surface 1126 can include a mirror image of the surface of the bone of the patient in this area of the bone. Alternatively, or in addition, a tendon trajectory guide 1120 can be formed with an inferior side 1146 that lacks a bone engagement surface 1126 and instead can include a concave shape on the inferior side 1146 to accommodate a surface of a bone that the inferior side 1146 will face and/or contact during use.
