Content
In one embodiment, the posterior surface 514 is shaped to engage with a distal articular surface (e.g., natural articular surface 260) of a bone. The posterior surface 514 may be shaped to engage with the distal articular surface by way of a bone pocket formed within the distal articular surface. In one example, the bone pocket may be concave shaped and the posterior surface 514 may be convex shaped to match or substantially match the concave shape of the bone pocket. A concave bone pocket and convex posterior surface 514 can enable the body 510 to seat within the bone pocket when deployed.
