Abstract
A device for unicompartmental arthroplasty of the knee. The device permits arthroplasty of the medial and/or lateral tibial condyle, and allows for securing of the device without the use of bone cement. Such a device comprises a baseplate, the baseplate comprising a first surface configured to be secured to a surgically prepared medial (or lateral) compartment of a proximal end of a patient's tibia, and an opposing second surface configured to replicate a medial (or lateral) tibial condyle; a flange adjacent the baseplate, the flange shaped to interface with a surgically prepared anterior surface of the proximal end of the patient's tibia, the flange comprising an orifice therethrough; and at least one anchor protruding from the first surface, the at least one anchor arranged to coincide with at least one corresponding surgically prepared void in the patient's tibia.
