摘要:
The present invention provides a femoral prosthesis for a femur which can enable or allow deep knee flexion without creating excessive tension in the ligamentous structure of the knee. The femoral prosthesis includes an internal non-articulating surface, an external articulating surface, a medial condyle and a lateral condyle. The height of the medial condyle is less than the height of the lateral condyle. A proximal-posterior tip of the medial condyle is rounded and is shifted inwards relative to the native level of the proximal-posterior region of the femur bone to facilitate knee flexion. A method of mounting a femoral prosthesis on a femur is also described.
