Content
In the illustrated embodiment, the navigation guide 900 includes a marker 920 that serves as a set of proximal bone attachment features 950 and a marker 920 that serves as a set of distal bone attachment features 952. The set of proximal bone attachment feature 950 and set of distal bone attachment feature 952 may include holes through the body 906 or guide pins that are deployed using those holes or a combination of both the holes and the guide pins deployed using those holes. The set of proximal bone attachment features 950 and/or set of distal bone attachment features 952 serve to hold the navigation guide 900 securely to the bone(s) as a set of proximal guide pins 928 and/or a set of distal guide pins 930 are deployed. Keeping the navigation guide 900 securely in place ensures that the guide pins are deployed where desired, particularly based on a preoperative plan.
