Content
In certain embodiments, the implant 310 and/or the joint-facing articular surface 312 may be a structure different from a rigid structure. For example, in one embodiment, the joint-facing articular surface 312 may be a suture ball. A suture ball is generally a length of suture material gathered into collection of loops, lengths, bends, and/or twists of one or more lengths of suture such that the collection covers a particular area and may resemble a ball shape. In certain embodiments, a suture ball may be a knotless suture in which one or more ends of the knotless suture may be pulled and thereby cause the knotless suture to bunch up or cinch up into a collection of loops, lengths and bends and twists. An implant 310 embodied as a suture ball may have less coefficient of friction than an implant 310 with a rigid joint-facing articular surface 312. Further, implant 310 embodied as a suture ball may be softer than an implant 310 with a rigid joint-facing articular surface 312.
