Landmarks, Anatomical Axes & Planning Impact

Why landmarks matter, how axes are built, and how changing landmarks affects planning and PSI.

Updated this week

Why are landmarks important?

Landmarks are used for:

  • Measurements

  • Planning logic

  • PSI design outputs

The system may propose initial landmarks, but you should validate them before continuing.


Bones are oriented by anatomical axes

CustoMED orients bones using anatomical axes derived from landmarks.

If you change landmarks:

  • Axes may change

  • Measurements and downstream outputs may change

Best practice:

  • Validate landmarks before planning

  • Confirm the landmark step before moving on
