Paragraph Number

249

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, etc.) to uniquely match a particular patient. Consequently, the bone engagement surface 2224 can engage the surfaces of the bones of a joint in a single configuration. Such a close matching fit facilitates the surgical osteotomy.
