Abstract:
Pathology of the human knee can arise from excessive and/or uneven loading of regions within the joint. Methods and apparatus are disclosed that enable displacement of soft tissue around the knee, without displacing or severing bone thereby altering the mechanical load distribution within the joint in a less invasive manner than previous techniques.

Claim (Index 12):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein:\n the prosthesis is formed around a first axis lying in a first plane; the fixation portion lies substantially in said first plane with a generally elongate shape oriented along said first axis and has first and second ends and at least a first width; the displacement portion outer surface is a convex surface spaced from the second end of said fixation portion in a direction along said first axis and in a direction perpendicular to said first plane; the displacement portion has an inner concave inner surface facing said first plane, the displacement portion having a second width greater than the first width of said fixation portion; and a spanning section extending between the second end of said fixation portion and the displacement portion.
