Landmarks & Anatomical Orientation

Explain landmarks, anatomical axes, and why they matter.

Updated this week

What Are Landmarks?

Landmarks are anatomical reference points used for:

  • Measurements

  • Planning logic

  • PSI design features

The system may suggest initial landmark positions.


Why Landmarks Are Critical

  • Bones are oriented using anatomical axes

  • Axes are derived from landmarks

  • Changing landmarks may change:

    • Measurements

    • Implant orientation

    • PSI outputs


Best Practice

Always:

  • Review landmark positions

  • Adjust if needed

  • Confirm the landmark step before planning
