Abstract

A tibial implant having a stem and a tibial sleeve. The tibial sleeve having a proximal end and a distal end, where the proximal end includes an annular male portion. The tibial implant also includes an offset ring having a central bore that is offset from the center of the offset ring, where the bore of the offset ring receives the annular male portion of the tibial sleeve. The tibial implant further includes a base plate having a proximal end and a distal end, where the distal end of the base plate forms a female portion, and the female portion receives both the offset ring and the male portion of the tibial sleeve.

Claims (24)

1. A tibial knee implant comprising:

a tibial sleeve having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end includes an annular male portion;

a ring having a central bore therethrough, wherein the bore of the ring receives the annular male portion of the tibial sleeve; and

a base plate having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the distal end of the base plate forms a female portion, and wherein the female portion receives both the ring and the annular male portion of the tibial sleeve.

2. The tibial knee implant of claim 1 , wherein the tibial sleeve includes a stepped exterior surface.

3. The tibial knee implant of claim 1 , wherein the ring is removably engaged with the tibial sleeve.

4. The tibial knee implant of claim 1 , wherein the base plate is removably engaged with the ring and tibial sleeve.

5. The tibial knee implant of claim 1 , wherein the tibial sleeve includes an outer rim that extends from the proximal end of the tibial sleeve and surrounds the annular male portion.

6. The tibial knee implant of claim 5 , wherein the outer rim does not extend further in the proximal direction than the annular male portion.

7. The tibial knee implant of claim 1 , further comprising: a platform having a base portion and a post extending in a distal direction from the base portion, wherein the post extends through a bore in the base plate and a central bore in the tibial sleeve.

8. The tibial knee implant of claim 1 , wherein the ring includes a first side and a second side, the second side opposite the first side, wherein the first side is 1 to 4 mm thicker in a radial direction than the second side.

9. A tibial knee implant comprising:

a tibial sleeve having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end includes an annular male portion;

a base plate having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the distal end of the base plate forms a female portion, and wherein the female portion receives the male portion of the tibial sleeve; and

a platform having a base portion and a post extending in a distal direction from the base portion, wherein the post extends through a bore in the base plate and a central bore in the tibial sleeve.

10. The tibial knee implant of claim 9 , further comprising: a ring having a central bore therethrough, wherein the bore of the ring receives the annular male portion of the tibial sleeve.

11. The tibial knee implant of claim 10 , wherein the female portion of the base plate receives the ring.

12. The tibial knee implant of claim 10 , wherein the ring is removably engaged with the tibial sleeve.

13. The tibial knee implant of claim 10 , wherein the tibial sleeve also includes an outer rim that extends from the proximal end of the tibial sleeve and surrounds the annular male portion.

14. The tibial knee implant of claim 13 , wherein the outer rim does not extend further in the proximal direction than the annular male portion.

15. The tibial knee implant of claim 9 , wherein the platform is removably engaged to the base plate and tibial sleeve.

16. The tibial knee implant of claim 10 , wherein the ring includes a first side of the bore and a second side of the bore, opposite the first side, wherein the first side is 1 to 4 mm thicker in a radial direction than the second side.

17. The tibial knee implant of claim 9 , wherein the tibial sleeve includes a stepped exterior surface.

18. The tibial knee implant of claim 9 , wherein the base plate is removably engaged with the tibial sleeve.
