Abstract
A patella trial implant includes: (1) a fixation member having a longitudinal axis extending between a posterior portion and an anterior portion, the anterior portion being configured for fixation to a resected patella, and (2) a patella component having a posterior articular surface configured to articulate with a femoral surface and having an anterior contact surface configured to contact the resected patella and defining a frontal plane of the patella component. The patella component has a guide slot defining at least one guide axis extending longitudinally in parallel to the frontal plane. The posterior portion of the fixation member engages in the guide slot. The patella component and the fixation member are movable relative to each other in translation along the at least one guide axis and in rotation about the longitudinal axis of the fixation member.
