A prosthesis for replacing a knee joint between a femur and a tibia can
include a femoral component having a first condylar portion, a second
condylar portion, a first sidewall and a second sidewall that
collectively comprise a first hinge portion. A tibial component can have
a first engagement portion formed thereon. A bearing can have an
articulating inferior surface adapted to articulate along the bearing.
The bearing can have an opening. A yoke can have an inferior portion and
superior portion, the superior portion having an axle that comprises a
second hinge portion. The inferior portion can have a second engagement
portion and be configured to at least partially pass through the opening.
The femoral component is operable to rotate relative to the tibial
component about a superior/inferior axis a first rotational distance
until the first and second engagement portions engage each other and
inhibit further rotation.
