  • Publication number: 20140277530
    Abstract: The present invention provides an orthopaedic implant including an articulating tray, a support tray connected to the articulating tray and a bone ingrowth layer connected to the support tray. The articulating tray has an articulating surface and an interface surface opposed to the articulating surface. The support tray has a first connecting surface that is connected to the interface surface and a second connecting surface that is opposed to the first connecting surface and connected to the bone ingrowth layer. Also provided is an orthopaedic implant with an articulating component and a body component connected to the articulating component. The articulating component has an articulating surface and an interface surface opposed to the articulating surface. The body component has a first surface connected to the interface surface, a second surface opposed to the first surface and at least one protrusion that extends away from the second surface.
