Abstract
A method and apparatus for replacing an articular surface of a bone. The implant includes at least one head with a bore and a lateral articular surface generally perpendicular to an axis of the bore. A holding element includes a stem at a proximal end adapted to attach to the bone. A member at a distal end of the holding device is adapted to engage with the bore in the head so that the lateral articular surface is positioned to engage transverse loads. The bore permits limited lateral translation of the head in at least one direction generally perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the member.
