Abstract
A method for mounting an implant at an orthopedic joint includes forming a tunnel through a bone, the tunnel having an open second end on a natural or resected articulating surface of the bone and an open first end at a location on the bone spaced apart from the natural or resected articulating surface. A fastener is advanced into the tunnel from the first end of the tunnel. The fastener, which is at least partially disposed within the tunnel, is then secured to the implant which is disposed over the second end of the tunnel.
