Content
In one embodiment, the bone tunnel 862 is cylindrical and the bone pocket 864 is semispherical, half spherical, circular, or the like. In one embodiment, the bone pocket 864 may be cylindrical. The bone pocket 864 may be formed in the natural articular surface 260 / distal articular surface 860 using a surgical reamer with a semispherical bit. The size and shape of the bone pocket 864 can vary based on similar characteristics to those for the bone tunnel 862. The bone pocket 864 can have a diameter (e.g., a maximum diameter) that is slightly larger than the diameter of an implant 500 or arthroplasty implant 810. A spherical bone tunnel 862 may not have a minimum diameter.
