Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for treatment of various joint conditions include a device inserted into a joint space. During delivery, the profile of the device is constrained in at least one dimension to minimize invasive impact on tissue and/or bone. The device may be restrained for implantation by a thread or a rigid elongate member. After insertion, the device may expand at the implantation site.

Abstract: Devices and treatments for various joint conditions include a resilient elongate orthopedic device inserted into a joint space using a suture. The suture is passed through the joint space and used to pull the orthopedic device into the joint space. The suture may be using a percutaneously inserted needle or other type of needle-based delivery instrument. The resilient elongate orthopedic device may be restrained to a reduced profile that permits minimally invasive implantation, but assume an enlarged profile when positioned at an implantation site. To facilitate insertion of the orthopedic device through a minimally invasive or limited access procedure, a delivery system may be used to support and orient the orthopedic device during implantation. In some instances, the delivery system may also reduce the delivery profile of the device for insertion through a minimally invasive or limited access procedure.

Abstract translation: 用于各种关节条件的装置和处理包括使用缝合线插入到关节空间中的弹性细长矫形装置。 缝合线通过关节空间，用于将矫形装置拉入关节空间。 缝合线可以使用经皮插入的针或其他类型的基于针的输送器械。 弹性细长矫形装置可以被限制为允许微创植入的减小轮廓，但是当放置在植入部位时呈现放大轮廓。 为了便于通过微创或有限的进入程序插入整形外科装置，输送系统可用于在植入期间支撑和定向整形外科装置。 在一些情况下，递送系统还可以通过微创或有限的访问过程来减少用于插入的设备的传递简档。

Abstract: A percutaneously implantable orthopedic device (100, 300, 570, 1100, 1200, 1600, 1700) is a shape-changing joint prosthesis with a generally arcuate or generally rectilinear configuration which is delivered through a delivery device (1000, 1801, 1901, 2001, 2210, 2310, 2800, 3101, 3401, 3501, 3701, 3801, 3901, 4001) in a substantially straightened or slightly curved configuration into a joint in a patient. One embodiment of a delivery and/or retrieval system for delivering or retrieving the shape-changing percutaneously implantable orthopedic device joint prosthesis can include a substantially straight (1030b, 1230b) or curved (1030c, 1230c) syringe, hypodermic needle or cannula that is joint expanding (2900), actuating, pivotable, can include a balloon (3000) and/or a loading device (2100, 2220, 2310, 2720, 3120, 3420, 3520, 3720, 3820, 3920) for storing the devices and orienting the device in the proper implantation orientation.
