1. An implant injection system for implanting an implant material into bone, the implant injection system comprising:
a shaft having a distal end and a proximal end;
an implant material having a non-flowable state and a flowable state, wherein the implant material forms the distal end of the shaft when the implant material is in the non-flowable state;
a suture extending through the implant material when the implant material is in the non-flowable state; and
a heater disposed proximate to the implant material for heating the implant material to its flowable state, whereby the implant material separates from the distal end of the shaft and flows into the bone.
