An artificial knee joint (1) is described and comprises a femoral component (10) and a tibial component (30), for attachment to the femur (2) and tibia (3) of a patient (4) respectively. The femoral component (10) comprises a lateral condyle (11) and a medial condyle (12) which extend from the posterior (13) to the anterior (14) of the femoral component (10). A femoral gap (15) is provided between the lateral (11) and medial (12) condyles extending from the posterior (13) toward the anterior (14) of the femoral component (10). The lateral (11) and medial (12) condyles are joined at the anterior (13) of the femoral component (10) to form a patella tracking path or bearing surface (16) which is located at and forms the anterior end of the gap (17). A femoral cam (18) is provided bridging the posterior ends of both the lateral (11) and medial (12) condyles, and forms a posterior end of the gap (19), wherein the femoral cam (18) is structured to have the shape of a section of a ring (20). The tibial component (30) is provided with two approximately symmetric articulation bearing surfaces (31, 32) either side of a central post (33), wherein the articulation bearing surfaces (31, 32) are for receiving the lateral (11) and medial (12) condyles of the femoral component (10), and the post (33) is shaped such that it will fit within the femoral gap (15).La présente invention concerne une articulation artificielle du genou (1) comprenant un composant fémoral (10) et un composant tibial (30), destinés respectivement à être fixés au fémur (2) et au tibia (3) dun patient (4). Ledit composant fémoral (10) comprend un condyle latéral (11) et un condyle interne (12) qui sétendent depuis le côté postérieur (13) jusquau côté antérieur (14) du composant fémoral (10). Un espace fémoral (15) est prévu entre le condyle latéral (11) et le condyle médial (12), sétendant depuis le côté postérieur (13) en direction du côté antérieur (14) du composant fémoral (10). Le condyle latéral (11) et l
