A compression ring (66) for use in implanting an orthopedics prosthesis (42), the ring having an interior surface generally conforming to a peripheral wall of a base plate of the prosthesis (42), the compression ring being adapted to extend beyond a lower surface (52) of the prosthesis, forming a cavity bounded by the lower surface and the compression ring. Also, a kit consisting of an orthopedic appliance (42) having a base plate with a peripheral wall and a lower surface (52) adapted to abut a resected bone surface, and a compression ring having an interior surface generally conforming to the peripheral wall of the base plate and slidingly received thereon, the compression ring being adapted to extend beyond the lower surface, forming a cavity bounded by the lower surface and the compression ring.
