ORTHOPEDIC KNEE PROSTHESIS HAVING INCREASED AXIAL-ROTATION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an orthopedic prosthesis including a tibial bearing and a femoral component configured to articulate with the tibial bearing.;SOLUTION: A posterior stabilized orthopedic knee prosthesis 10 includes a tibial insert or bearing 12, a femoral component 14, and, in some embodiments, a tibial tray (not shown). The femoral component 14 is configured to articulate with the tibial bearing 12 during use. In particular, the knee prosthesis 10 is configured to promote external axial rotation of the femoral component 14 with respect to the tibial bearing 12 during flexion of a patient's knee.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
