Abstract
Surgical implant systems, methods, and components are described herein. More particularly, the disclosure relates to joint arthroplasty systems, methods, and components. Particular embodiments described herein can be used to modify the subtalar joint (e.g., posterior facet of the subtalar joint), calcaneocuboid, talonavicular, and any other suitable joint. An exemplary implant system comprises a first implant component, a second implant component, and an insert.

A system for use in a joint arthroplasty, the system comprising:
- a first implant component having a first implant proximal end, a first implant distal end, and a first implant body defining a first implant surface, a concave first articulating surface opposably facing the first implant surface, and a plurality of first implant projections extending outward and away from the first implant surface from a first implant projection first end to a first implant projection second end for each of said plurality of first implant projections, wherein said plurality of first implant projections are adapted to attach said first implant component to a first implant site;
- a second implant component having a second implant proximal end, a second implant distal end, and a second implant body defining a second implant surface, a recess extending into the second implant body from a side opposably facing the second implant surface to a recess base, and a plurality of second implant bores, each second implant bore adapted to allow a fastener there through, said fastener adapted to attach said second implant component to a second implant site;
- and
- an insert adapted to be releasably attached to the second implant component and having an insert articulating surface that is convex and adapted to articulate with the first articulating surface,
- wherein said system is adapted for implanting at said first implant site and said second implant site within a joint.
