Abstract
Systems and apparatuses including a tibial insert for replacement of a knee joint of a patient are disclosed. The insert can comprise a proximal surface configured to interface with a bearing, a post and a distal surface. The post can extend from the proximal surface and can be configured to be received in a recess in the bearing. The bearing can be configured to pivot about the post to move relative to the proximal surface. The distal surface can be spaced from the proximal surface and can be configured to interface with a tibial baseplate. The distal surface can be configured with a connection mechanism to connect with the tibial baseplate.
