Content
In the illustrated embodiment, at least one appendage 1502 extends from the body 1332. Advantageously, the appendage 1502 can provide a surgeon with confidence and assurance in the placement and positioning of the tendon trajectory guide 1320 on the bone because the appendage 1502 can be configured to engage with a particular landmark on the bone (e.g., a side surface of the bone (dorsal, plantar, medial, lateral, a projection or a depression or cavity, one or more joints, or the like). Alternatively, or in addition, the appendage 1502 can include a contoured bone engagement surface 1506 that can further facilitate registration of the appendage 1502 and/or tendon trajectory guide 1320 with the bone. In this manner, a surgeon can be assured intraoperatively that the tendon trajectory guide 1320 is being positioned as desired.
