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 17):
A method of treating a shoulder joint having first and second bones, the method comprising:\n fixing a fixation portion of a treatment device to the first bone such that a displacement portion of the treatment device engages target tissue in a pretreatment location proximate the shoulder joint; and displacing the target tissue from the pretreatment location with the displacement portion of the treatment device by a distance and in a direction selected to provide a therapeutic effect in the shoulder joint.
