Content
Advantageously, the present disclosure provides a patient-specific instrument model 462 that can be readily fabricated to provide a patient-specific instrument 406. In this example, a model navigation guide 616 and corresponding actual patient-specific navigation guide 618 and a model positioning guide 626 and corresponding actual patient-specific positioning guide 628 are illustrated and provided. Advantageously, the patient-specific instrument model 462 and patient-specific instrument 406 share one or more common features and/or aspects that enable the patient-specific instrument 406 to serve as a navigation guide that helps a surgeon locate a desired position and/or orientation for one or more instruments in relation to anatomy of a patient during a surgical procedure.
