Abstract
A tibial prosthesis, and, particularly, a fixed bearing tibial prosthesis is disclosed that has a two-pronged securement mechanism. The securement mechanism may or may not be angled. Advantageously, the securement mechanism, working alone or in cooperation with other securement features, minimizes micromotion between the tibial tray and tibial bearing component.
