Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	This disclosure relates to a cartilage prosthetic implant that can be used in orthopedics for a replacement of a damaged cartilage in a joint between opposing bones, for example in the case of osteoarthritis or trauma. The cartilage prosthetic implant described herein can replace the damaged cartilage at the joint without cutting bones of the joint. The cartilage prosthetic implant can maintain or restore a native joint anatomy, allowing for a natural movement at the joint. The cartilage prosthetic implant can be used as a permanent treatment or an intermediate treatment before requiring a total joint replacement. An example of the cartilage prosthetic implant is described for a knee joint replacement and is divided into a proximal implant configured to replace a cartilage at a distal end of a femur bone and a distal implant configured to replace a cartilage on a proximal end of a tibia bone.
