VIL-12 The bone anchor 820 may be a single unitary piece such as the example embodiment bone anchor 330 described in relation to FIG. 2. Or, as in the illustrated embodiment, the bone anchor 820 may include two or more pieces. In the illustrated embodiment, the bone anchor 820 includes a body 822 having external threads 824 on an outside surface of the body 822. The external threads 824 can be configured to engage with bone. In one embodiment, the external threads 824 may engage with an internal surface (e.g., walls) of a bone tunnel. In certain embodiments, the bone anchor 820 may be secured to the metatarsal bone 816 away from the distal articular surface 860. For example, the bone anchor 820 may be secured within, onto, near, or around the dorsal surface 210, the plantar surface 220, the medial surface 230, and/or the lateral surface 240. 97 Added by DJM 2 2022 2/5/22, 12:00 AM

VIL-12 The arthroplasty implant 810 is an implant configured to engage a distal articular surface 860 of a metatarsal bone 816 (See for example FIG. 9). In certain embodiments, the arthroplasty implant 810 may be similar to and/or may function similar to the implant 500 described in herein. Alternatively, or in addition, the arthroplasty implant 810 may include distinct differences from the implant 500. In the illustrated embodiment, the arthroplasty implant 810 includes a connector 530 like the connected in the implant 500. 96 Added by DJM 2 2022 2/5/22, 12:00 AM

VIL-12 FIG. 8 is a perspective view of an arthroplasty implant system 800 for use on a foot joint according to one embodiment. The arthroplasty implant system 800 may include an arthroplasty implant 810, a bone anchor 820, and tether 840. As used herein, an “arthroplasty procedure” refers to a surgical procedure for restoring and / or improving function and / or operation of a joint of a patient. An arthroplasty procedure can be done for a toe joint, ankle joint, knee joint, hip joint, arm joint, elbow joint, finger joint, or the like. In certain embodiments, an arthroplasty can include replacing, remodeling, resurfacing, or realigning an articular surface of a musculoskeletal joint by osteotomy or some other procedure. (Search "arthroplasty" on Wikipedia.com Jan 14, 2022. CC-BY-SA 3.0 Modified. Accessed Jan 14, 2022.) An arthroplasty procedure may be an elective procedure to relieve pain and/or restore function to a joint after damage by arthritis or some type of trauma. An "arthroplasty implant" is an implant used in an arthroplasty procedure. 95 Added by DJM 2 2022 2/5/22, 12:00 AM

VIL-12 The connector 630 illustrates and alternative embodiment of connector 530. However, the connector 630 may serve the same purpose as the connector 530: to connect the implant 600 to a coupler such as a transosseous coupler 320, a tether, a suture, or the like. In the illustrated embodiment, the connector 630 includes a plurality of openings 634. In one embodiment, one end of a coupler can be threaded through one or more of the plurality of openings 634 to connect the coupler to the implant 600. 94 Added by DJM 2 2022 2/5/22, 12:00 AM

VIL-12 In certain embodiments, the implant 600 may include a lip 616 that extends from the body 610. The lip 616 may connect to the body 610 and include a posterior surface and joint-facing surface that each match the contour of the respective, posterior surface 614 and joint-facing articular surface 612. The lip 616 may serve to extend an articular surface of a bone such that the lip 616 serves as the articular surface of the bone when the joint is in flexion approaching approximately 90 degrees of flexion. 93 Added by DJM 2 2022 2/5/22, 12:00 AM

VIL-12 FIGS. 7A-7D illustrate a perspective view, a bottom view, a perspective side view, and a top view, respectively of an implant 600 according to one embodiment. The embodiment of these figures is but one example of a variety of different implants and/or implant configurations that can be used with the present disclosure. The implant 600 may include a body 610, and edge 620, and a connector 630. The body 610 may include a joint-facing articular surface 612 and a posterior surface 614. The posterior surface 614 may contact a resurfaced version of the natural articular surface 260 and may include a coating of an osseointegration material such as hydroxyapatite (HA) or other naturally occurring and biocompatible substances configured to promote osseointegration. The coating may result in the posterior surface 614 fusing with a resurfaced articular surface of the distal end 190 of the bone (e.g., first metatarsal 110). The body 610 may be shaped such that the posterior surface 614 is concave and the joint-facing articular surface 612 is convex. 92 Added by DJM 2 2022 2/5/22, 12:00 AM
