Paragraph Number

234

Advantageously, the fidelity of the patient imaging data enables the bone model, preliminary cutting guide model, and patient specific instrument (e.g., patient-specific cutting guide, patient specific pin guide, patient specific alignment guide, navigation guide, resection guides, etc.) to uniquely match a particular patient. Consequently, the bone engagement surface 922 can engage the surfaces of the bones of a joint in a single configuration. Such a close matching fit facilitates the surgical osteotomy.
