1. A customized patient-specific apparatus for use with a robotic system, comprising:
a central portion of the patient-specific apparatus, which comprises a first and a second extension;
at least a first surface configured to be complementary to a predetermined portion of a patient's boney anatomy;
at least a second surface distinct from the at least a first surface that is configured to be complementary to another predetermined portion of the patient's boney anatomy;
at least one marker in communication with the robotic system;
wherein the at least one marker communicates the location and orientation of the apparatus to the robotic system; and
wherein placement of the at least a first surface on the predetermined portion of the patient's boney anatomy and placement of the at least a second surface on the another predetermined portion of the patient's boney anatomy is verified by the robotic system through communication with the at least one marker.
