ABSTRACT A prosthetic implant for replacement of a portion of natural bone at a point of articulation. The implant includes a locking mechanism which enables the bearing insert to be removably secured to the base support. The locking mechanism includes a resilient locking clip which is predisposed on one side of either the bearing insert or the base support such that when the bearing insert and base support are assembled together, the clip extends between both the insert and the support to secure the two components together. To insert and/or remove the bearing insert from the support, the clip is caused to substantially fully recede into the component in which it is predisposed. 0132W
