1. A prosthesis for treating disorders of the knee in the patellofemoral compartment of the knee, the prosthesis comprising: a fixation portion configured to be mounted to the tibia at a fixation site proximate the upper tibial extremity and medially or laterally of the tibial tuberosity;a spanning section configured and dimensioned to extend cranially and laterally or medially from the fixation portion in a direction towards the tibial mid-line; anda displacement portion having an overall curvature around an axis generally parallel to the tibial shaft when the fixation portion is mounted at the fixation site and configured and dimensioned to (i) extend from the spanning section further laterally or medially under patellar tendon and in engagement therewith, and (ii) displace the patellar tendon anteriorly sufficiently to alter the location, angle or magnitude of forces exerted thereby on the patella so as to achieve a therapeutic effect in patellofemoral compartment of the knee. 2. The prosthesis of claim 1, wherein the therapeutic effect comprises a reduction of loading on an articular surface in the patellofemoral compartment of the knee. 3. The prosthesis of claim 1, wherein: the displacement portion has a base portion configured to engage at least in part an anterior surface of the tibia and a cantilevered portion extending from the base portion to a free end, the cantilevered portion being configured to be spaced apart from the tibia when the base portion is engaging the tibia;the displacement portion includes a bearing surface configured to atraumatically engage the patellar tendon, the bearing surface being free of holes or other fixation means; andsaid base portion and said cantilevered portion e formed with said curvature around a common axis generally parallel to the tibial shaft. 4. The prosthesis of claim 1, wherein said displacement portion and spanning section are configured and dimensioned in combination to displace the patellar tendon from a pre-treatment anatomical path by displacement distance of more than about 5 mm and less than about 30 mm when the fixation portion is mounted to the tibia. 5. The prosthesis of claim 4, wherein said displacement portion and spanning section are further configured to position the displacement portion to define a space between at least a part of the displacement portion and the tibial surface. 6. The prosthesis of claim 5, wherein said displacement portion is configured and dimensioned to form a cantilevered structure with respect to the tibial surface with said space positioned under at least a portion of the cantilevered structure of the displacement portion when the fixation portion is mounted to the tibia. 7. The prosthesis of claim 6, wherein said space is further defined by a cranially-facing undercut in the displacement portion. 8. The prosthesis of claim 5, wherein: the displacement portion has an outer end opposite the spanning section with said outer end including a supplemental support element having a bone engaging surface configured and dimensioned to rest against the tibia to support said displacement portion. 9. The prosthesis of claim 8, wherein said space is defined in an area between the spanning section and bone engaging surface of the displacement portion outer end. 10. The prosthesis of claim 8, further comprising a bone fixation element cooperating with said supplemental support element. 11. The prosthesis of claim 10, wherein said bone fixation element comprises at least one bone screw hole in said supplemental support element. 12. The prosthesis of claim 8, wherein said displacement portion and supplemental support element lie along a displacement portion axis at an angle of about 80-135 degrees with respect to a fixation portion axis. 13. The prosthesis of claim 8, wherein the displacement portion outer end extends in a caudal direction, with the displacement portion configured to extend around the tibia to an opposite side of the tibia from the fixation portion. 14. The prosthesis of claim 13, wherein the supplemental support element includes at least one fixation hole aligned with at least one bone screw hole in the fixation portion, said fixation hole and said bone screw hole configured to receive a single fixation rod extending therethrough. 15. The prosthesis of claim 8, wherein: the fixation portion comprises a body member and a separate base member to which the body member may be coupled, said body and base members having complementary, mating shapes to provide a secure coupling of the body member to the base member; andthe separate base member includes plural bone screw holes for fixation to the tibia. 16. The prosthesis of claim 15, further comprising locking means for securing the fixation portion body member to the fixation portion base member. 17. The prosthesis of claim 1, wherein: the fixation portion is disposed at an angle with the spanning section such that with the prosthesis implanted and the displacement portion engaging the patellar tendon, the fixation portion is substantially aligned with the tibial shaft;the spanning section is configured and dimensioned to avoid contact with the medial edge of the patellar tendon; andthe displacement portion is further configured and dimensioned to lie substantially parallel to the axis of the tibial plateau when the fixation portion is secured medially of the tibial tuberosity with the fixation portion substantially aligned with the tibial shaft. 18. The prosthesis of claim 1, wherein: the fixation portion comprises a body member and a separate base member to which the body member may be coupled, said body and base members having complementary, mating shapes to provide a secure coupling of the body member to the base member; andthe separate base member includes plural bone screw holes for fixation to the tibia. 19. The prosthesis of claim 18, wherein the fixation portion body member includes at least one bone screw access hole positioned to align with a bone screw hole in the fixation portion base member when said body member is fit with the base member. 20. The prosthesis of claim 18, further comprising locking means for securing the fixation portion body member to the fixation portion base member. 21. The prosthesis of claim 20, wherein said locking means comprise inter-engaging surfaces on said base and body members. 22. The prosthesis of claim 20, wherein said locking means comprises at least one bone screw hole extending through both said base and body members. 23. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the fixation portion includes alterable protrusions on a bone facing surface, said protrusions being alterable to match bone surface contour at a fixation site. 24. A prosthesis for repositioning a target tissue, the target tissue comprising a connective tissue or muscle relative to a bone on which said target tissue acts, and the prosthesis comprising: a fixation portion having one or more fixation features configured to receive fixation elements for securing the implant to the bone; anda displacement portion having a first end connected to the fixation portion and a free end opposite the first end, the displacement portion having a bearing surface configured to atraumatically engage and reposition the target tissue relative to the bone;wherein the displacement portion has a base portion configured to engage the bone and a cantilevered portion extending from the base portion to the free end, the cantilevered portion being configured to be spaced apart from bone when the base portion is engaging the bone, the base portion and the cantilevered portion each having a curvature formed around a common axis parallel to a longitudinal axis of the bone when the fixation portion is secured thereto. 25. The implant of claim 24, wherein the displacement portion is at least partially ramp-shaped such that, when implanted, a lower part of the displacement portion has a first height relative to the bone surface and an upper part of the displacement portion has a second greater height relative to the bone surface, the ramp-shaped portion facing in a direction generally away from the free end. 26. The implant of claim 24, wherein the displacement portion is connected to the fixation portion at an end opposite the free end by a spanning section.
