The reference element may be three non-linearly positioned elements disposed on a removably mountable member. The anchoring member may be secured to an anatomical structure using an image guidance system. The instrument body may then be selectively adjusted with respect to the anchoring member and anatomical structure after securing the anchoring member with the anatomical structure. The selective repositioning adjustment of the instrument body on the anatomical structure may also employ a computer implemented image guidance system.
