Abstract
The present disclosure includes, in one embodiment, a talar component of an ankle joint prosthesis for engagement with a talus bone having a medial side wall and a lateral side wall, opposite the medial side wall, each side wall terminating at a distal edge, and the distal edges adapted to drive into the talus bone. When implanted, the side walls may form a seal between the talus bone and the component to prevent fluid from flowing under the component.
