Abstract:
A fixation device for a knee replacement. The fixation device includes a stem configured to be fixedly attached to one of a tibial component of the knee replacement and a femoral component of the knee replacement. The stem has a continuously tapered outer surface and has a distal end that is distal to said one of the tibial component and the femoral component. The stem is configured so that the continuously tapered outer surface engages a patient's bone when the stem is inserted into a bone canal within the patient's bone. In addition, the continuously tapered outer surface of the stem at the distal end is configured to mechanically fix the knee replacement to the patient's bone by being wedged within the bone canal.

Claim (Index 18):
A fixation device for a knee replacement prosthesis with a tibial component and a femoral component, the fixation device comprising:\n a tapered stem configured to be attached to one of the tibial component and the femoral component; at least one projection on an outer surface of the tapered stem, the at least one projection being configured to resist a rotational movement of the tapered stem when the tapered stem is inserted into a patient's bone canal; and a fixation bolt configured to secure the tapered stem to the tibial component or the femoral component, wherein the tapered stem comprises a continuously tapered outer surface configured to be wedged within the patient's bone canal.
