摘要:
Devices are provided for knee joint replacement with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) substitution. Generally, the devices can allow a knee joint to be partially or totally replaced in conjunction with substitution of the knee joint's ACL. In one aspect, a medical device is provided that includes a tibial implant (36), a femoral implant (34), and a post (38). The tibial implant has an inferior surface and an opposite, superior surface. The inferior surface is configured to be fixed to a tibia of a patient. The femoral implant is mateable to the tibial implant and has an inferior surface and an opposite, superior surface. The post extends from the superior surface of the tibial implant near an edge thereof.
