A knee replacement prosthesis comprising a femoral component and a tibial
component that enable anterior-posterior translation of the femur
relative to the tibia and enable the tibia to rotate about its
longitudinal axis during flexion of the knee. The femoral component
connects to the distal end of a resected femur and includes medial and
lateral condyles having distal, articulating surfaces, and a patellar
flange having a patellar articulating surface. The tibial component
connects to the proximal end of a resected tibia and includes a proximal
bearing surface with medial and lateral concavities that articulate with
the medial and lateral condyles. The condylar articulating surfaces and
the said concavities are substantially defined by non-uniform, rational
B-spline surfaces (NURBS).
