Content
FIG. 12 is a cross-section view of an implant according to one embodiment. FIG. 12 illustrates an example implant 500 positioned within a bone pocket 864. In the illustrated embodiment, the bone pocket 864 has a semispherical or hemispherical shape and has a bone radius measured from point 1202 with a constant radius R1. In one embodiment, R1 may be between about 1.5mm and about 3mm, and may depend on the size of the implant 500 being used. For example, in one embodiment, the size of R2 is substantially the same as the size of R1. R1 and/or R2 may be sized to be substantially half of the diameter of an OCL 350 that was present on the distal articular surface 860 before the bone pocket 864 was formed. In certain embodiments, the size of R1 and/or R2 may be slightly larger than half of the diameter of an OCL 350 that was present on the distal articular surface 860 before the bone pocket 864 was formed.
