KBR-1 1400.2.623 As will be appreciated by one skilled in the art, aspects of the disclosure may be implemented as a system, a method, and/or a program product. Accordingly, examples may take the form of an entirely hardware implementation, an entirely software implementation (including firmware, resident software, micro-code, etc.) or an implementation combining software and hardware aspects that may all generally be referred to herein as a “circuit,” “module” or “system.” Furthermore, examples may take the form of a program product implemented in one or more computer readable storage devices storing machine-readable code, computer readable code, and/or program code, referred hereafter as code. The storage devices may be tangible, non-transitory, and/or non-transmission. In certain examples, the storage devices only employ signals for accessing code. 15 Added by DJM 2 2022 2/25/22, 12:00 AM

KBR-1 1400.2.623 Various of the functional units described in this specification have been labeled as modules in order to more particularly emphasize their implementation independence. For example, a module may be implemented as a hardware circuit comprising custom VLSI circuits or gate arrays, off-the-shelf semiconductors such as logic chips, transistors, or other discrete components. A module may also be implemented in programmable hardware devices such as field-programmable gate arrays, programmable array logic, programmable logic devices or the like. 16 Added by DJM 2 2022 2/25/22, 12:00 AM

KBR-1 1400.2.623 Modules may also be implemented in code and/or software for execution by various types of processors. For example, an identified module of code may, for instance, comprise one or more physical or logical blocks of executable code which may, for instance, be organized as an object, procedure, or function. Nevertheless, the executables of an identified module need not be physically located together but may comprise disparate instructions stored in different locations which, when joined logically together, comprise the module and achieve the stated purpose for the module or controller. 17 Added by DJM 2 2022 2/25/22, 12:00 AM

KBR-1 1400.2.623 Indeed, a module of code or may be a single instruction, or many instructions, and may even be distributed over several different code segments, among different programs, and across several memory devices. Similarly, operational data may be identified and illustrated herein within modules and may be embodied in any suitable form and organized within any suitable type of data structure. The operational data may be collected as a single data set or may be distributed over different locations including over different computer readable storage devices. Where a module or portions of a module are implemented in software, the software portions are stored on one or more computer readable storage devices. 18 Added by DJM 2 2022 2/25/22, 12:00 AM

VIL-12 In certain embodiments, the articular implant 900 (e.g., its edge 520 and/or posterior surface 514) and the surface of the bone pocket 864 may be configured to cooperate to provide fixation through a press-fit connection/interface between the bone pocket 864 and the articular implant 900. Alternatively, or in addition, the articular implant 900 (e.g., its edge 520 and/or posterior surface 514) and the surface of the bone pocket 864 may be configured to cooperate to provide fixation through a slip-fit connection/interface between the bone pocket 864 and the articular implant 900. The slip-fit connection/interface may result from embedding the articular implant 900 in the distal articular surface 860. The slip-fit connection/interface together with intrinsic compression from the joint reactive force when a surgeon reduces the MTP joint can serve to maintain the position of the articular implant 900 on the distal articular surface 860. 117 Added by DJM 2 2022 2/5/22, 12:00 AM

VIL-12 Alternatively, or in addition, the tether 840 coupling the articular implant 900 to the bone anchor 820 may provide positive fixation with a constant tension that keeps the articular implant 900 in the bone pocket 864 and in position on the distal articular surface 860. The bone anchor 820 secures a proximal end 842 of the tether 840 to the metatarsal bone 816 away from the bone pocket 864. 118 Added by DJM 2 2022 2/5/22, 12:00 AM

VIL-12 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. 119 Added by DJM 2 2022 2/5/22, 12:00 AM

VIL-12 In one embodiment, one or more surfaces of the articular implant 900, tether 840, and/or bone anchor 820 may be coated with a coating of an osseointegration material such as hydroxyapatite (HA) or other naturally occurring and/or biocompatible substances configured to promote osseointegration. "Osseointegration" refers to the direct structural and functional connection between living bone and the surface of an implant. Said another way, osseointegration is functional ankylosis (bone adherence), where new bone is laid down directly on an implant surface and the implant exhibits mechanical stability (i.e., resistance to destabilization by mechanical agitation or shear forces). Osseointegration is the formation of a direct interface between an implant and bone, without intervening soft tissue. (Search "osseointegration" on Wikipedia.com Sept. 15, 2021.
