A hinge knee system (10) includes a tibial assembly (12) having a baseplate component (20) and an axle component (40). The baseplate component (20) has an opening (28) that extends therein from a proximal end toward a distal end thereof. The axle component (40) has a shaft portion (52) receivable within the opening (28) of the baseplate component (20) and an axle (46) connected to the shaft portion (52) that extends in a direction transverse to a longitudinal axis of the shaft portion (52). The system (10) also includes a femoral assembly (14) that includes a distal femoral component (100). The distal femoral component (100) includes condylar portions (122) and an intercondylar portion (110) disposed between the condylar portions (122). The intercondylar portion (110) includes a bearing surface (119) that defines a recess (115) configured to rotatably receive the axle (46) for articulation therewith.
