An orthopedic implant, such as a tibial tray, includes a body having a
bone contacting surface with at least one and preferably two pegs
extending from the bone contacting surface. Each of the pegs has a
longitudinal axis angled with respect to the bone contacting surface and
also angled in at least one direction consisting of a medial-lateral
direction, an anterior-posterior direction and an inferior-superior
direction. In the case of the tibial tray, the pegs form a
non-perpendicular angle with the bone contacting surface of the baseplate
and are angled in both a posterior direction and a medial or lateral
direction.
