摘要:
The invention relates to a femoral component 1 of a knee replacement assembly. The knee replacement assembly is arranged to articulate about an articulation axis X. The femoral component comprises an outer surface 100 defining a replacement condyle; and an inner surface 200 for attachment to a prepared distal femur. The inner surface comprises portions 210, 220, 230, 240 provided with mutually parallel ridges 201 and grooves 202. The ridges and grooves are arranged to provide an increased or reduced stiffness of the femoral component when cantilevered about the articulation axis X compared with a stiffness of the femoral component when cantilevered about a transverse axis Y or Z. The ridges may be discontinuous.
