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 19):
The method of  claim 17 , further comprising prior to connecting the first modular tibial component,\n connecting a first trial tibial component from a plurality of trial tibial components having different sizes, each of the trial tibial components having at least one female or male connectors corresponding to one or more of the male or female connectors of the tibial fixed component, to the tibial fixed component and checking for a proper trial fit; and when the trial fit is incorrect, removing the first trial tibial component and replacing it with other trial tibial components having a different size than the first trial tibial component until a correctly sized trial tibial component having the proper trial fit is identified; wherein the first modular tibial component has a size corresponding to a size of the correctly sized trial tibial component.
