ABSTRACT:
A bearing component includes an interrupted articular face suitable for mating with a corresponding joint face. The interrupted articular face of the bearing component is defined by a plurality of bearing platforms integral with the face where either recesses extend between the bearing platforms or said platforms protrude from the articular face in order to minimize surface area of articulation for the corresponding joint face.
