In one example, the strand may be used during installation to provide a constant reference to the trailing edge of the implant in situ. In another example, the strand may be used during installation to provide guidance to the implant for instrumentation. In another example, the strand may be used during installation to provide the ability to pull back on the implant. In another example, the strand allows for novel designs of installation and removal instruments.
