Paragraph Number

219

Referring to FIG. 19D, in one embodiment, anatomical data about the patient can be used to define other structures of the cutting guide 1900 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 guide feature and/or second guide feature is. Controlling the depth of the first guide feature and/or second guide feature can be used to manage how deep a surgeon’s cutting instruments can reach within the first guide feature and/or second guide feature. Managing a depth for one or more guide features may be referred to as defining a patient specific height for the cutting guide 1900.
