Abstract
An implant system can include a body defining a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The body can include an exterior surface including threads. The implant system can include a needle coupled to the body and extending past the second end of the body. The body can be configured to be driven into an opening in a bone to place the implant into the bone, thereby securing the implant to the bone. The body can be configured to be driven into the opening in the bone such that the needle pierces a tissue adjacent to the bone, thereby placing an end of the needle into an anatomical cavity.
