An interpositional knee arthroplasty is disclosed for attachment to a knee
condyle. The interpositional knee arthroplasty comprises a spacer and at
least one fastener extending from the spacer. The at least one fastener
is designed and dimensioned to extend into the condyle without
penetrating through the subcondylar plate. The spacer may be kidney
shaped to facilitate attachment to the knee condyle. The fastener
comprises at least one peg with at least one deformable fin attached to
the peg. The deformable fin may be cup shaped. In operation, at least one
hole is formed in a patient's condyle. The at least one hole is
dimensioned to receive the at least one peg member and deformable fin,
but the hole does not extend to the subcondylar bone. When the peg member
is forced into the hole in the condyle, the deformable fin collapses and
wedges the peg member in the hole.
