Shunt for joint repair, creates a passageway between interior and exterior of a joint capsule, the shunt comprising a body of biocompatible material, which is substantially hollow; a proximal and distal aperture flanking said shunt body; at least a first and second extension of shunt body, first extension is located proximal to proximal aperture and second extension is located proximal to distal aperture, first and second extensions fasten or adjoin said shunt body, such that said shunt is substantially immobilized at a location of placement of said shunt; proximal aperture of shunt body is positioned proximal to an interior of joint capsule and shunt body spans at least a distance equal to that of synovial membrane, joint capsule or a combination thereof and distal aperture is located substantially outside of at least synovial membrane; the ratio between shunt body diameter and shunt body length is greater than 0.5.
