- a jig having a patient specific surface and a guide to direct or accommodate a surgical instrument;
wherein at least a portion of the patient specific surface has a shape that substantially matches a shape of a corresponding surface of the hip joint;
wherein the guide is configured relative to the patient specific surface to provide a predefined path for the surgical instrument when the patient specific surface is placed against and aligned with the corresponding surface of the hip joint; and
wherein the path for the surgical instrument has a predefined position and/or orientation based on a desired position and/or orientation of the acetabular component of the hip implant when the patient specific surface is placed against and aligned with the corresponding surface of the hip joint,wherein the shape of the corresponding surface of the hip joint and the desired position and/or orientation of the acetabular component are derived from electronic image data of the hip joint of the patient, wherein the corresponding surface of the hip joint is an acetabular surface of the hip joint selected from the group consisting of;
an acetabular fossa, an acetabular rim, an acetabular wall, and any combination thereof.
