Abstract:
A knee replacement, a kit for a knee replacement, and a method for performing a knee replacement are provided. A tibial fixed component of the knee replacement is configured to be permanently inserted into a resected tibia of a patient. A tibial modular component of the knee replacement is removably attachable to the tibial fixed component and has an upper surface to interface with a femoral component. The tibial modular component is removable from the tibial fixed component so that in the event that the fit of the knee replacement is not correct, the tibial modular component may be replaced with a differently sized tibial modular component without removing the tibial fixed component from the bone.

Claim (Index 1):
A knee replacement comprising:\n a tibial fixed component comprised of a plastic material and configured to be permanently inserted into a resected tibia of a patient, the tibial fixed component having an upper surface, the upper surface comprising:\n a plurality of male or female connectors, \n a front tab disposed proximate to an edge of the upper surface, and \n a rear tab disposed proximate to an edge of the upper surface; and \n a tibial modular component that is selectively attachable and detachable to the tibial fixed component, the tibial modular component comprising\n a lower surface configured to interface with the upper surface of the tibial fixed component, the lower surface comprising a plurality of female or male connectors corresponding to the male and female connectors of the tibial fixed component, the female or male connectors of the tibial modular component comprising through holes extending from the lower surface of the tibial modular component to the upper surface of the tibial modular component, the through holes comprising air valves to facilitate air passage when the female or male connectors of the tibial modular component connect with and/or detach from the male and female connectors of the tibial fixed component; \n notches disposed in side surfaces of the tibial modular component, the notches corresponding to the front tab and the rear tab of the tibial fixed component, and \n an upper surface to interface with a femoral component.
