Abstract
Various embodiments described herein can facilitate the design of patient-adapted (e.g., patient-specific or patient-engineered) tibial implants. Furthermore, various embodiments described herein can include implant components having one or more patient-adapted features and one or more standard, that is, not patient-adapted (e.g., off-the-shelf), features incorporated into the design of the tibial implant components, including the sizes of the tibial tray, the locking mechanism, the tibial tray cavities, and/or the tibial inserts. For example, in various embodiments, the size of the tibial tray may be designed as patient-adapted by incorporating patient-adapted measurements into the perimeter of the tibial component.

A tibial implant, comprising:
- a tibial tray configured for placement on a proximal surface of a tibia of a patient, the tibial tray including:
- an inferior surface generally opposite a superior surface, a medial side generally opposite a lateral side, and an anterior side generally opposite a posterior side;
- an anterior wall positioned on the superior surface and including at least a portion having a first height;
- a posterior wall positioned on the superior surface posterior to the anterior wall, the posterior wall including at least a portion having a second height;
- and
- a central rib positioned on the superior surface and extending generally posteriorly from the anterior wall, the central rib including at least a portion having a third height,
- wherein the second height is larger than the first height.
