A sigmoid notch resurfacing prosthesis for application to the sigmoid notch of the distal radius. The sigmoid notch prosthesis generally includes a saddle and a radius portion for attachment to the distal radius. The saddle may be formed from ultra high molecular weight polyethylene or another durable self-lubricating material. The saddle includes an at least partially concave contoured depression having rounded edges that is securable to the radius portion. The saddle may be secured by a sliding notch snap fit design. The prosthesis may be adapted for articulation with the natural head of the ulna or with an ulnar head prosthesis that has replaced the ulnar head.

1. A prosthesis for implantation in a patient, the prosthesis comprising: a radial component comprising a first side having a first stem extending therefrom, the first stem being sized and configured for insertion into an ulnar-facing surface of the distal end of a radius bone of the patient;an articular component comprising a bottom face securable to a second side of the radial component and an articular face opposite the bottom face, the articular face having a convex portion and a concave portion, the first stem being substantially perpendicular to a surface of the bottom face and the articular face positioned to face an ulna bone when the bottom face is secured to the second side of the radial component; andan ulnar component sized and configured to replace a distal head of the ulna bone of the patient, the ulnar component comprising a second stem sized and configured for insertion into an intramedullary canal of the ulna bone and a head component, a portion of the head component positioned to face the radius bone and configured to articulate with the articular face, the head component being positionable to articulate with the articular face when the second stem is inserted into the intramedullary canal of the ulna bone and the first stem is inserted into the ulnar-facing surface of the distal end of the radius bone. 2. The prosthesis of claim 1, wherein the second side of the radial component comprises a retainer configured to surround a portion of the articular component when the articular component is secured to the second side of the radial component. 3. The prosthesis of claim 1, wherein the bottom face has a recess for receiving a portion of the radial component when the bottom face is secured to the second side of the radial component. 4. The prosthesis of claim 3, wherein the recess is positioned at a periphery of the bottom face. 5. The prosthesis of claim 1, wherein the concave portion is smoothly curved and configured to receive and articulate with the head component. 6. The prosthesis of claim 1, wherein the concave portion includes a radius of curvature that is larger than a radius of curvature of the convex portion. 7. The prosthesis of claim 1, wherein the concave portion is adjacent to the convex portion. 8. The prosthesis of claim 1, wherein the first stem comprises a tapered shape. 9. The prosthesis of claim 1, wherein the radial component is formed from a single piece of material. 10. The prosthesis of claim 1, wherein the radial component further comprises a hole extending from the first side to the second side, and wherein the prosthesis further comprises a bone screw having a shaft positionable through the hole at different angles with respect to the first stem. 11. The prosthesis of claim 1, wherein the head component includes suture holes to allow for anchoring of the head component to soft tissues of the patient. 12. The prosthesis of claim 1, wherein the articular face substantially conforms to a shape of the head component. 13. The prosthesis of claim 1, wherein the head component includes a convex surface configured to be received in the concave portion. 14. The prosthesis of claim 1, wherein the second stem includes a collar configured to limit insertion of the second stem into the intramedullary canal of the ulna bone. 15. A method for arthroplasty comprising: obtaining a first prosthesis adapted for implantation at the distal end of a radius bone of a patient, the first prosthesis comprising: a radial component comprising a first side having a first stem extending therefrom, the first stem being sized and configured for insertion into an ulnar-facing surface of the distal end of the radius bone; andan articular component comprising a bottom face securable to a second side of the radial component and an articular face opposite the bottom face, the articular face having a convex portion and a concave portion, the first stem being substantially perpendicular to a surface of the bottom face when the bottom face is secured to the second side of the radial component; andobtaining a second prosthesis to replace a distal head of an ulna bone of the patient, the second prosthesis comprising: a head component configured to articulate with the articular face; anda second stem sized and configured for insertion intoan intramedullary canal of the ulna bone,implanting the first prosthesis, comprising inserting the first stem into the ulnar-facing surface of the distal end of the radius bone; andimplanting the second prosthesis, comprising inserting the second stem into the intramedullary canal of the ulna bone,wherein, once the first and second prostheses are implanted, the articular face faces the ulna bone such that the concave portion of the articular face is adjacent the head component and the convex portion of the articular face is proximal to the concave portion. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein implanting the first prosthesis comprises inserting the first stem into the radius bone, and wherein implanting the second prosthesis further comprises positioning the head component to articulate with the articular face. 17. The method of claim 15, wherein the head component includes suture holes to allow for anchoring of the head component to soft tissues of the patient. 18. The method of claim 15, wherein the head component comprises a convex surface configured to be received in the concave portion. 19. The method of claim 15, wherein implanting the second prosthesis further comprises securing the head component to the second stem. 20. The method of claim 15, wherein the radial component further comprises a hole extending from the first side to the second side, and wherein the first prosthesis further comprises a bone screw having a shaft positionable through the hole at different angles with respect to the first stem. 21. The method of claim 15, further comprising the step of preparing the radius bone for implantation of the first prosthesis including burring the sigmoid notch.
