Abstract: The invention describes methods and devices for treating a tissue within a synovial joint in a patient in need of such treatment. The methods and devices involve inserting a drug delivery device through the synovial joint and anchoring the drug delivery device within the synovial joint capsule so that the drug delivery device does not substantially interfere with movement of the joint. The drug delivery device comprises a deformable polymeric delivery device having a reservoir portion and a dispensing portion extending from the reservoir portion and at least one pharmaceutical agent contained within the drug delivery device.
