Disclosed herein are flexible prosthetic components (100, 200, 300, 400, 500) that are designed to be snap-fit to bone (10) of a patient. The prosthetic components each have an outer articular surface (104, 204, 304, 404, 504) and an inner bone contacting surface (105, 205, 305, 405, 505) opposing the outer articular surface. The bone contacting surface has an anterior surface and an opposing posterior surface configured to contact corresponding anterior and posterior surfaces of the patient's bone. At least one of the anterior and posterior surfaces includes one or more protrusions (102, 126, 202, 226, 302, 326, 402, 502, 526) extending outwardly therefrom. The anterior and posterior surfaces of the prosthetic components may flex toward and away from one another such that the one or more protrusions may snap-fit into corresponding recesses (128) in the bone. The bone of the patient may be resected to include planar surfaces or resurfaced to include a curved surface corresponding to the respective bone contacting surface of the prosthetic components.
