The present invention relates to a tibial prosthesis having an
articulating component and a tray component. The articulating component
is configured for attachment to the tray component. Additionally, the
articulating component may be attached to the tray component in a first
condition in which the articulating component is at least rotatable
relative to the tray component. This allows for the tray component to be
attached to the tibia in a position that provides for proper rotation of
the tray component with respect to the tibia and/or prevents the tray
component from overhanging the resected tibia. Then, the articulating
component may be rotated and/or translated to a position that provides
for proper alignment of the articulating component with a femoral
prosthesis. Once in this positioned, a locking mechanism is used to
rotationally fix the articulating component to the tray component.
