Abstract
Polymer pads are inserted between the bones of an arthritic or damaged body joint in order to better cushion the joint bones, thus relieving pain and improving function. It is preferred to introduce the pad by injecting a liquid that cures within the joint, while traction is applied to the joint bones. Silicones or tanned proteins are useful, and may contain radiopaque additives to enable radiographic inspection during injection and/or after the pad insertion is completed.
