  • Publication number: 20210228367
    Abstract: A total knee implant prosthesis is disclosed. The total knee implant prosthesis includes a tibial component including a pair of bearing surfaces and a post positioned between the bearing surfaces, and a femoral component configured to rotate relative to the tibial component. The femoral component includes a pair of condyles sized and shaped to articulate on the bearing surfaces and a cam positioned between the pair of condyles. The cam engages the post at a first contact point when the femoral component is at 0 degrees of flexion and engages the post at a second contact point located lateral of the first contact point when the femoral component is at a first degree of flexion greater than 0 degrees. The cam is disengaged from the post when the femoral component is at a second degree of flexion greater than the first degree of flexion.

  • Publication number: 20200405506
    Abstract: An orthopaedic surgical system for a total knee implant includes a plurality of commonly-sized femoral trial components. Each commonly-sized femoral trial component includes a first femoral condyle having a first articulation surface configured to engage a tibial component, and a second femoral condyle may be spaced apart from the first femoral condyle. The second femoral condyle has a second articulation surface configured to engage the tibial component. An anterior cam is positioned between the first femoral condyle and the second femoral condyle. A method of using such a system is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9119723
    Abstract: A posterior stabilized knee orthopaedic prosthesis assembly includes a tibial bearing, a primary femoral component, and a revision femoral component. Each of the primary and revision femoral components is configured to separately articulate with the tibial bearing. However, each of the primary and revision femoral components has different geometry. The primary femoral component includes a posterior cam having a posterior cam surfacing including a concave cam surface and a convex cam surface. The revision femoral component includes a posterior cam having only a convex cam surface.
