The various apparatus, devices, systems, and/or methods of the present disclosure have been developed in response to the present state of the art, and in particular, in response to the problems and needs in the art that have not yet been fully solved by currently arthroplasty and/or implants. One general aspect of the present disclosure can include an implant having a joint-facing articular surface configured to replace at least part of a natural articular surface of a bone adjacent to a joint, and a transosseous coupler. The system may include a bone anchor configured to reside proximate another surface of the bone. The bone anchor can be separated from the natural articular surface by a bone tunnel. The system may include a transosseous coupler configured to couple the implant to the bone anchor and the bone anchor may be configured to couple the transosseous coupler to the bone such that the transosseous coupler retains the implant in place on the natural articular surface of the bone.
