A hinged knee prosthesis includes a femoral component with a tibiofemoral articular surface that is distinct from the patellofemoral articulating surface. Fully congruent tibiofemoral articulation is provided for virtually all flexion angles. Additionally, the bearing is capable of at least limited axial rotation relative to the tibial component but is restrained against dislocation. Accordingly, dislocation is much less likely even n those situations where collateral ligaments are insufficient.
