Systems and methods for providing deeper knee flexion capabilities, more
physiologic load bearing and improved patellar tracking for knee
prosthesis patients. Such systems and methods include (i) adding more
articular surface to the antero-proximal posterior condyles of a femoral
component, including methods to achieve that result, (ii) modifications
to the internal geometry of the femoral component and the associated
femoral bone cuts with methods of implantation, (iii) asymmetrical tibial
components that have an unique articular surface that allows for deeper
knee flexion than has previously been available, (iv) asymmetrical
femoral condyles that result in more physiologic loading of the joint and
improved patellar tracking and (v) modifying an articulation surface of
the tibial component to include an articulation feature whereby the
articulation pathway of the femoral component is directed or guided by
articulation feature.
