A knee joint resurfacing implant is disclosed. The knee joint resurfacing implant may include femoral implant and tibial implant components. The femoral implant components may be attached to the femur using screws or other fixation devices. The femoral implant component may be configured to share loads between cortical and cancellous bone material. The tibial implant components are formed in modular portions which may be assembled within the knee joint and may be free-floating or fixed to the tibial surface. The implant components are of such a size and configuration that the components may be placed into the knee joint through an external skin incisions that measure 3 cm or less. Accordingly, the size of skin incisions required for implantation may be reduced when compared to incisions which are now commonly used.
