Abstract
A tibial base plate for attaching to a resected surface at a proximal end of a tibia is provided. The tibial base plate includes a bridge, a pair of compartments and a stem. The bridge has a first contact surface sitting on the resected surface. The compartments are disposed at opposite sides of the bridge and extend in an anterior-posterior direction to form a notch to accommodate a tibial eminence. Each of the compartments has a second contact surface sitting on the resected surface. The stem is connected to the bridge and the compartments and inset into the proximal end of the tibia. The stem has an outer surface. The outer surface is canted towards the notch as insetting into the proximal end of the tibia. The stem is engaged with a cutting slot on the resected surface into the proximal end of the tibia.
