See full text

Orthopedic implants having an implant body, a bone contact surface, and a tendon contact surface, wherein the tendon contact surface comprises an elevation ramp sloping downward from the proximal side to the distal side of the implant body and a realignment ramp sloping downward from the lateral side to the medial side of the implant body. Also disclosed are methods for repositioning a tendon that include inserting an orthopedic implant having a complex geometry tendon engagement surface between the tendon and a bone, engaging a bone engagement surface of the orthopedic implant with the bone, engaging a tendon surface with the tendon engagement surface; and causing a repositioning of the tendon via the complex geometry tendon engagement surface by at least one of (a) rotating the tendon along its axial plane, and (b) translating or shifting the tendon along its horizontal plane.
