    摘要: The present teachings provide for a prosthetic implant comprising a femoral component, a tibial component, a bearing and a wear reduction device. The femoral component is operable to replace at least a portion of a patient's natural femur. The tibial component is operable to replace at least a portion of a patient's natural tibia, the tibial component having a superior tibial component surface. The bearing is operable to provide engagement between the femoral component and the tibial component. The bearing has a superior bearing surface operable to articulate with the femoral component and an inferior bearing surface operable to cooperate with the superior tibial component surface. The wear reduction device is located at least one of the superior tibial component surface and the inferior bearing surface and is operable to reduce wear upon at least one of the superior tibial component surface and the inferior bearing surface.
