System and method for repairing articular surfaces

A method for inserting an implant assembly into a bone, the implant assembly comprising i) an anchor, ii) an implant having an anchor facing surface configured to interface with the anchor so as to couple therewith, and a load bearing surface, the method comprising:

• securing a suture to the anchor, wherein a portion of the suture between a first and second end thereof engages with a contact portion of the anchor;
• engaging a distal end of a driver shaft of a driver with an anchor engagement portion located at a proximal end of the anchor;
• securing engagement between the driver and the anchor by applying tension to the suture;
• inserting the anchor into the bone via the driver;
• decoupling the driver from the anchor after the anchor is inserted into the bone;
• engaging the anchor facing surface of the implant with the anchor;
• securing the first and second ends of the suture to the driver shaft, the driver shaft being spaced apart from the implant;
• coupling the driver shaft with a biasing member at a proximal end thereof, such that at least a portion of the biasing member is disposed between the driver shaft and the implant;
• and
• reducing a length of the suture extending between the anchor and the driver shaft, such that a distal end of the biasing member interfaces with the implant and provides a biasing force thereto so as to secure the implant to the anchor;
• wherein the anchor further comprises an anchor fixation portion configured to couple a proximal end of the anchor to the distal end of the biasing member.
