Abstract: A fixed-bearing prosthesis includes a femoral component having a medial condyle surface and a lateral condyle surface. The knee prosthesis also includes a bearing having a medial bearing surface configured to articulate with the medial condyle surface of the femoral component, and a lateral bearing surface configured to articulate with the lateral condyle surface of the femoral component. A tibial tray is secured to the bearing. The tibial tray has a platform with an elongated stem extending downwardly from a lower surface thereof. A peripheral rail extends along at least an anterior section of the perimeter of the tray's platform. The peripheral rail extends upwardly from an upper surface of the platform. A retaining rail extends upwardly from the upper surface of the platform and posteriorly away from the peripheral rail.

Abstract: The subject invention relates to systems and methods that perform consistency checks of user defined type (UDT) fragments utilizing a stream of data without wholesale copying of the data. Streaming consistency checks facilitate discovering invalid fragments as soon as possible such that the entire UDT fragment does not have to be read, stored, analyzed, etc. Additionally, a UDT fragment can be evaluated without being completely materialized; thus, systems and/or methods employing the subject invention can yield improved performance as compared to conventional techniques by reducing required resources and enabling faster detection of invalid structures.

Abstract: A method for performing a consistency check on a database backup of a database is performed without requiring a full recovery of the original database from the database backup. Instead, a database view may be used as a smaller storage requirement tool for providing a transaction-consistent view of portions of an existing full database backup. The database view, in combination with the database backup and transaction log, contains all the information necessary to perform a consistency check on the database backup without a full reconstitution of the original database from the database backup. The consistency check may be run on the database view along with the database backup to verify the integrity of the full database backup to add improved reliability to a database recovery scheme.
