FEMORAL EXTENSION PROSTHETIC COMPONENT AND TIBIAL SHELF PROSTHETIC COMPONENT FOR UNICONDYLAR MENISCAL BEARING KNEE PROSTHESIS AND PROSTHESIS INCLUDING SUCH A COMPONENT

摘要

A femoral extension prosthetic component for use in a unicondylar meniscal bearing unicompartmental knee replacement is described. The femoral component comprises a securing element and a bearing surface, the securing element adapted to abut and be connected to a distal end of a femur bone, and the bearing surface adapted to abut a meniscal bearing. The femoral component includes an entrapment portion adapted to extend beyond the meniscal bearing. Tibial components and meniscal bearings are also described, as well as methods of using such components.
