Content
In the illustrated embodiment, the connector 530 includes cut outs 532a,b and an opening 534. The cut outs 532a,b may facilitate aligning a coupler (e.g., a transosseous coupler 320) with a center of the implant 500. Those of skill in the art will recognize that the cut outs 532a,b may be optional and may or may not be included in an embodiment. The opening 534 may engage with the coupler to couple the implant 500 and the coupler. In the illustrated embodiment, the opening 534 extends from one cut out 532a to an opposite cut out 532b. In one embodiment, the coupler may be a tether and the connector 530 engages with the tether and secures the implant 500 to the tether. For example, one end of a tether may be passed through opening 534 and the tether may be tied into a knot to secure the tether to the implant 500.
