Abstract: An herbicidal composition comprising (a) glyphosate or a derivative thereof, (b) an amidoalkylamine surfactants having the general structure: wherein R1 is a hydrocarbyl having from about 1 carbon atoms to about 22 carbon atoms, and R2, R3, and R4 are each independently hydrocarbyl having from about 1 carbon atom to about 6 carbon atoms; and (c) at least one co-surfactant.

Abstract: A femoral component (2) of a knee joint prosthesis has a bearing surface (4) for articulation with a tibial bearing surface and an opposite bone facing surface (6). The bone facing surface has anterior (18), posterior (20), distal (22), anterior chamfer (24) and posterior chamfer (26) portions. Medial (42, 52, 356) and lateral rails (40, 50, 350) are provided on the distal portion or on at least one of the anterior chamfer portion and posterior chamfer portions of the bone facing surface so that there is at least one recess (46, 54, 354, 360) between the rails.

Abstract: A knee implant system includes a femoral adapter. The femoral adapter has a threaded bore so that a stem extension can be threaded onto the proximal end of the adapter. The same stem extension can be threaded onto the distal end of the tibial tray so that the number of stem extensions required in the system is reduced. The femoral adapter has a tapered exterior surface so that a metaphyseal sleeve can be frictionally connected to the femoral adapter. The metaphyseal sleeve has a threaded bore so that the same type of stem extension can be threaded onto the metaphyseal sleeve. The system can include a group of adapters to give the surgeon the option of selecting the appropriate valgus angle and anterior-posterior position of the stem extension.
