Abstract:
1. An assembly for forming an implant in a bone, said assembly comprising: a return cannula, said return cannula having a distal end, a proximal end opposite the distal end and being configured for insertion into the bone; a delivery cannula disposed within the return cannula, said delivery cannula having an open distal end, a proximal end opposite the distal end and being configured for insertion into a bone; one of an access cannula and a return line attached to the return cannula; an agglomeration of solid beads and cement contained within the delivery cannula; and a delivery mechanism attached to the proximal end of the delivery cannula, said delivery mechanism configured to urge the agglomeration out of the distal end of the delivery cannula, the one of the access cannula and the return line being configured to relieve excess fluid pressure within the bone by removing excess fluid within the return cannula, the excess fluid pressure being caused by delivering the agglomeration.
