Abstract
Expandable prosthetic devices used for treating a variety of conditions, including rotator cuff injuries, broken and/or depressed bone fractures, infection and/or inflammation in the body. In one embodiment, a prosthesis includes an implant having a pressure regulating valve. The implant is capable of being positioned between a first tissue and an opposing second tissue in a void space and of deforming under pressure in response to articulation of a joint. The pressure regulating valve is configured to open based on a predetermined pressure in the implant.

1-31. (canceled)
A prosthesis comprising:
- an inflatable chamber defining an opening through which fluid can flow into the inflatable chamber to fill the inflatable chamber and defining a single cavity comprising an outer surface having one or more external features configured to facilitate engagement between the outer surface of the single cavity and one or both of a first tissue and a second tissue opposite the first tissue;
- a rigid ring defining a lumen coupled to the opening of the inflatable chamber;
- and
- a plug configured to seat in the lumen of the rigid ring to seal the opening of the inflatable chamber,
- wherein the rigid ring is slidably disposed about a tube interfacing with the inflatable chamber in a manner to prevent fluid from passing through an interface between the rigid ring and the tube,
- wherein the prosthesis is configured to be positioned in a void space of a joint between the first tissue and the second tissue, and
- wherein the inflatable chamber deforms under pressure in response to articulation of the joint.
