Abstract
A bone preparation system including a guide body and a plurality of bone locators. The guide body is configured to mate with a patient-specific module having a patient-specific module surface customized based on image data of a specific patient to correspond to the patient'"'"'s specific bone geometry. The plurality of bone locators are coupled to the guide body and positioned by the patient-specific module surface to define a patient-specific bone engaging surface of the guide corresponding to the patient'"'"'s specific bone geometry.

7. A system for preparing a specific patient'"'"'s bone with a bone preparation guide, the system comprising:
- a guide body including a plurality of bone locators movable into and out of the guide body; and
a patient-specific insert configured to be received by the guide body, the patient-specific insert including a patient-specific insert surface customized based on image data of a specific patient to correspond to the patient'"'"'s specific bone geometry;
wherein cooperation between the patient-specific insert and the guide body positions the bone locators to define a patient-specific bone engaging surface at distal tips of the plurality of bone locators, the patient-specific bone engaging surface corresponding to the patient'"'"'s specific bone geometry, wherein the guide body defines a receptacle for receipt of the insert therein, cooperation between the patient-specific insert surface and the bone locators positions the bone locators to define the patient-specific bone engaging surface. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
