A method according to one embodiment may provide access to an articular surface of a bone. The method includes forming a passage through at least a portion of the bone. The passage provides an opening in the articular surface. The method further includes inserting a tether through the passage. The tether inserted through the passage can be coupled to at least one device from an insertion site remote from the articular surface. The tether can be withdrawn through the passage to convey the device to a location proximate the articular surface.

Dans un de ses modes de réalisation, l'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'accéder à une surface articulaire d'un os. Ce procédé consiste à former un passage dans au moins une partie de l'os. Ce passage constitue une ouverture dans la surface articulaire. Le procédé consiste par ailleurs à introduire un fil d'ancrage dans le passage. Ce fil d'ancrage introduit dans le passage peut être couplé à au moins un dispositif à partir d'un site d'insertion éloigné de la surface articulaire. Ledit fil d'attache peut être retiré du passage pour transporter le dispositif vers un emplacement à proximité de la surface articulaire.
