Content
FIG. 12 also illustrates an articular implant 900 having a joint-facing articular surface 512 that is convex. The joint-facing articular surface 512 may have a radius R3 measured from point 1202 that defines convex joint-facing articular surface 512. R3 and R2 may be sized such that the joint-facing articular surface 512 is prominent and serves as a suitable replacement for at least a portion of the distal articular surface 860. In one embodiment, the joint-facing articular surface 512 extends above the distal articular surface 860 by between about 1mm to about 1.5mm.
