Paragraph Number

222

The navigation guide 900 may also include at least one marker 920 and a bone engagement surface 922. The marker 920 is a structure of the navigation guide 900 that facilitates translating features, aspects, structures, and/or other aspects of a virtual environment to a physical environment for a surgical procedure. In particular, the marker 920 identifies at least one location for a reference feature that can provide a reliable reference in the physical environment that maps or corresponds to the position and/or frame of reference in the virtual environment. In the illustrated embodiment, the marker 920 identifies a location for a reference feature that corresponds to a model reference of a bone (both a model bone and a physical bone) of a patient’s foot.
