    摘要: Implantable orthopedic pain management devices are disclosed, including a body with a top surface having a radius of curvature, and a bottom surface with another radius of curvature, configured to be surgically implanted in a joint and to prevent contact between one or more bones in the joint, the body not being coupled to the one or more bones, and a peripheral protrusion disposed substantially about a perimeter of the body and having a substantially circular cross section, the peripheral protrusion being configured to prevent expulsion of the body from the joint.

    摘要: An example apparatus is provided for placing a first anchor in a first bone, and a locking assembly in a second bone, the first anchor and locking assembly being connected by a flexible segment that provides substantial tensile stabilization but offers little or no resistance to bending, rotation, or shear motion of the first anchor and locking assembly with respect to each other. The first anchor can include a proximal end and a distal end configured for insertion into a first hole in the first bone. The locking assembly can include a proximal end and a distal end configured for insertion into a second hole in the second bone. The flexible segment can be configured to adjust a distance between the first and second bones, while the locking assembly releasably engages the flexible segment to fix the distance between the first and second bones.
