A curable material delivery cannula device and method are disclosed. The
device includes a cannula and a hub. The cannula includes an open
proximal end, a deflectable segment forming a pre-set curve, a lumen, and
side orifice(s) adjacent, and proximally spaced from, the distal end and
fluidly connected to the lumen. When inserted within a guide cannula, the
deflectable segment straightens. When distally extended from the guide
cannula, the deflectable segment reverts to the curved shape, which may
be used to create a void in the bone for receiving curable material. The
distal end has a blunt tip for non-traumatic interface with bodily
material. During use, curable material, such as bone cement, is delivered
from the side orifice(s) in a radial direction relative to the lumen.
