Devices and treatments for various joint conditions include a resilient elongate orthopedic device inserted into a joint space using a suture. The suture is passed through the joint space and used to pull the orthopedic device into the joint space. The suture may be using a percutaneously inserted needle or other type of needle-based delivery instrument. The resilient elongate orthopedic device may be restrained to a reduced profile that permits minimally invasive implantation, but assume an enlarged profile when positioned at an implantation site. To facilitate insertion of the orthopedic device through a minimally invasive or limited access procedure, a delivery system may be used to support and orient the orthopedic device during implantation. In some instances, the delivery system may also reduce the delivery profile of the device for insertion through a minimally invasive or lim-ited access procedure.

Linvention concerne des dispositifs et des traitements pour des pathologies articulaires variées. Les dispositifs comprennent un dispositif orthopédique résilient allongé introduit dans un espace articulaire au moyen dune suture. La suture traverse lespace articulaire et est utilisée pour tirer le dispositif orthopédique dans lespace articulaire. Ladite suture peut utiliser une aiguille introduite de manière percutanée ou un autre type dinstrument de distribution à base daiguille. Le dispositif orthopédique résilient allongé peut être restreint à un profil réduit qui permet une implantation peu invasive, mais peut prendre un profil élargi lorsquon le positionne sur un site dimplantation. Pour faciliter lintroduction du dispositif orthopédique via une procédure daccès peu invasive ou limitée, un système de distribution peut également être utilisé pour supporter et orienter de dispositif orthopédique pendant limplantation. Dans certains exemples, le dispositif de distribution peut également réduire le profil de distribution du dispositif pour lintroduire via une procédure daccès peu invasive ou limitée.
