The edge 520 is a structure between the joint-facing articular surface 512 and the posterior surface 514. As used herein, “edge” refers to a structure, boundary, or line where an object, surface, or area begins or ends. An edge can also refer to a boundary or perimeter between two structures, objects, or surfaces. An edge can also refer to a narrow part adjacent to a border. (search "edge" on Merriam-Webster.com. Merriam-Webster, 2021. Web. 03 Aug. 2021. Modified.) In certain embodiments, an edge can be a one dimensional or a two dimensional structure that joins two adjacent structures or surfaces. Furthermore, an edge may be at a perimeter of an object or within a perimeter or boundary of an object. In the illustrated embodiment, the edge 520 may have a circular cross-section.
