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 14):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein:\n the fixation portion is formed around a first axis lying substantially in said first plane with a generally elongate shape oriented along said first axis and having first and second ends and at least a first width; the displacement portion having an outer, convex bearing surface and an inner concave surface, said surfaces spaced from the second end of said fixation portion in a direction along said axis and in a direction perpendicular to the first axis, the convex bearing surface further having a generally arcuate shape formed around a second axis parallel to and spaced from the first axis, the displacement portion having a width substantially the same as the first width; and a spanning section extending between the second end of said fixation portion and the displacement portion.
