SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS FOR ANCHORING ORTHOPAEDIC IMPLANTS TO BONE

摘要

Methods, devices, and systems for delivering and attaching flexible implants to a bone or joint surface. An implant container includes a first component for surrounding and enclosing an implant and a second component adapted for maintaining, supporting, and conforming the shape of the implant. The implant container designed to have at least one component attachable to the implant and to a delivery instrument or tool. The implant container component having a material allowing transmission of light through a thickness of the container and a thickness of an attached implant to cure an adhesive placed between the implant and a bone surface. Additionally, embodiments described provide delivery instruments and tools for attaching implants and implants within containers to a joint or bone surface.
