ABSTRACT:
An ankle prosthesis includes a tibial component attachable to a tibia. A bearing component is movable in an anterior-to-posterior direction to thereby engage and become releasably attached to the tibial component. The bearing component can be released from the tibial component by movement in a posterior-to-anterior direction to thereby be removed from the tibial component.
