摘要:
A hinged knee prosthesis comprises a tibial component and a femoral component. The tibial component is configured to attach to a tibia. The tibial component has a bearing surface. The femoral component is configured to hingedly attach to the tibial component and rotate relative to the tibial component. The femoral component comprises a medial condyle and a lateral condyle. The medial and lateral condyles have an eccentric sagittal curvature surface configured to rotate and translate on the bearing surface of the tibial component. A method of rotating a hinged knee through a range of flexion is provided. The method fixedly attaches a femoral component to a tibial component. Axial rotation of the femoral component is induced relative to the tibial component when the hinged knee is flexed.
