A mobile bearing tibial implant is described which comprises a tibial
component and a mediscal bearing component. The tibial component
comprises a tibial plate having a proximal face and a distal face. A
tibial post extends from the distal face of the tibial plate which in use
will anchor the tibial plate to the proximal end of a resected tibia. The
tibial compent additionally includes a generally rectangular tibial
projection extending upwardly from the proximal face of the tibial plate,
the central longitudinal plane of the said tibial projection being
co-linearly located on the sagittal plane passing substantially through
the center of the knee. The meniscal bearing component has a
substantially flat distal face for glidable seating on the tibial plate
and a proximal face configured to receive in use an articulating condylar
surface of a femoral component. The meniscal component has a recess
therein opening on the distal face of the component, the recess being
shaped to receive the tibial projection and to allow the meniscal bearing
component to rotate about a center of rotation passing through the tibial
projection but to prevent or limit anterior/posterior translation of the
meniscal bearing component on the tibial plate.
