Paragraph Number

109

Referring to Figure 3D, in one embodiment, anatomical data about the patient can be used to define other structures of the cutting guide 300 or other patient specific instruments. For example, anatomical data about the patient that can be captured in the patient imaging data (e.g., due to the fidelity of the technology providing the patient imaging data) can be used to define how deep a first resection feature and/or second resection feature is. Controlling the depth of the first resection feature and/or second resection feature can be used to manage how deep a surgeon’s cutting instruments can reach within the first resection feature and/or second resection feature. Managing a depth for one or more resection features may be referred to as defining a patient specific height for the cutting guide 300.
