Content
In addition, the surgeon has coupled the tether 840 to the bone anchor 820 such that the bone pocket 864 retains the articular implant 900 in place during osseointegration of the articular implant 900 into the metatarsal bone 816. In one embodiment, the surgeon may couple the tether 840 to the bone anchor 820 by engaging a tether locking feature 832 with the proximal end 842 of the tether 840. The tether locking feature 832 may serve as a second connector coupled to the bone anchor 820. In certain embodiments, the proximal end 842 may pass through the tether locking feature 832 and thereby tighten the tether 840. The tether locking feature 832 may then be positioned within the body 822 of the bone anchor 820.
