Content
This positive fixation from the tether 840 and bone anchor 820 can serve as adjunctive fixation once the procedure is complete. This adjunctive fixation may enable the patient to begin using the joint very soon after the procedure and can reduce the recovery time. As the patient heals, each of the members of the arthroplasty implant system 800 can be fused and/or integrated with the bone of the patient to provide permanent fixation. In certain embodiments, components of the arthroplasty implant system 800 may be made from bioabsorbable or resorbable materials, such that they may be partially or completely absorbed by the body of the patient. The adjunctive fixation can last beyond the life of the patient or may last long enough for the bone to heal and close the bone tunnel 862 and/or the bone pocket 864.
