Abstract
Tibial implants, instruments, systems, and methods of implanting a tibial tray during a knee arthroplasty. The inserter instrument may include a main body with a pair of fixed posterior tabs, a moveable anterior tab body with an anterior tab, and a rotatable shaft for controlling movement of the anterior tab body. When the shaft is rotated, the anterior tab body is translated into an expanded position to lock the inserter to the tibial tray, thereby providing precise positioning of the tibial tray during implantation.
