  • Publication number: 20130158672
    Abstract: An orthopedic implant that includes an implant body having a bone contact surface to be in contact or near contact with a bone structure during use, wherein the bone contact surface has a bone interface structure protruding therefrom. The bone interface structure includes a first elongated portion to be at least partially pressed into the bone structure during use, and a second elongated portion to be at least partially pressed into the bone structure during use. The second elongated portion is coupled to the first elongated portion and extends from the first elongated portion at an angle oblique to the first elongated portion.
