Abstract

An implant includes a fixed bearing, a floating bearing, and a coupling member. The fixed bearing defines a generally first spherical articulating surface and a stop. The floating bearing includes a second spherical articulating surface and a planar articulating bearing surface. The coupling member defines a bearing surface that translates relative to the planar articulating bearing surface.
