The prosthetic components 10 each have an outer articular surface 104 and an inner bone contacting surface 105 opposing the outer articular surface. The bone contacting surface 105 has an anterior surface 122 and an opposing posterior surface 124 configured to contact corresponding anterior and posterior surfaces of patients bone. The anterior and/or posterior surfaces 122 and 124 includes one or more protrusions 102 and the anterior and posterior surfaces 122 and 124 may flex toward and away from one another such that the protrusions 102 are received into corresponding recesses in the bone with a snap fit. The bone of the patient may be resected to include planar surfaces or a curved surface corresponding to the respective bone contacting surface of the prosthetic components 10.
