Patent ID: 10231840

Abstract:
A tibial baseplate may include a bridge portion connecting medial and lateral condylar portions at an anterior end portion of the baseplate, and a pair of fixation members extending inferiorly from a bone contacting surface of each of the medial and lateral condylar portions. One of each pair of fixation members may extend posteriorly from the bone contacting surface, may be positioned anterior to the other of the pair, and may include at least one recessed surface. The recessed surface may include a lateral recess, a posterior recess, and a medial recess. During insertion of the tibial baseplate into the bone, one of each pair of fixation members may guide the tibial baseplate into the bone and secure the tibial baseplate, while the other of each pair of fixation members may drag along the bone so that bone chips accumulate in the recesses, providing for increased fixation of the baseplate.
