Abstract
A mount usable with an implantable extra-articular system including a body having a first end opposite a second end. The mount includes a coupling connection positioned at the first end of the mount for attaching the mount to a base component. The mount also includes a multi-dimensional articulating connection component configured at the second end of the mount. The body of the mount offsets the articulating connection component away from body anatomy when coupled to the base component. The mount also orients and aligns a link absorber that is coupled to the articulating connection component.

13. A mount usable with extra-articular implantable systems, the mount comprising:
-
a body having a first end opposite a second end; a coupling connection at the first end of the mount for coupling the mount to a base component; and a multi-dimensional articulating connection component coupled to the second end of the mount, wherein the body offsets the multi-dimensional articulating connection component away from body anatomy when coupled to the base component to provide an extra-articular connection, and the mount assuring proper orientation and alignment of a link that is coupled to the multi-dimensional articulating connection component. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A mount usable with extra-articular implantable systems, the mount comprising:
-
a body; a coupling connection at a first end of the mount for coupling the mount to a base component; and an adjustable multi-dimensional articulating connection component slidably coupled to a second end of the mount, wherein the body offsets the articulating connection component away from body anatomy when coupled to the base component to provide an extra-articular connection, and the mount accomplishes proper orientation and alignment of a link that is coupled to the adjustable multi-dimensional articulating connection component. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26)
