Content
The PS femoral component 14 depicted in FIGS. 1-8 may include a cam element or cam bar 50 and a box structure 52 for providing posterior stabilization in place of absent ligaments. The cam bar 50 may include a cam articulating surface 51 which may contact the posterior articulation surface 42 of the post 30 during flexion, as in FIGS. 1B and 7. An internal articulation surface 54 may reside on the inside of the box structure 52 and may contact the post 30 during articulation and rotation of the knee joint. The internal articulating surface 54 may be concavely curved and may contact the rim 44 of the post 30 during axial rotation of the knee joint about the post. The PS femoral component 14 may further include a medial condyle 60 having a medial condylar articulation surface 62, and a lateral condyle 64 having a lateral condylar articulation surface 66. The medial and lateral condylar articulation surfaces 62, 66 may articulate against the PS insert 12 medial and lateral condylar articulation surfaces 25, 27, respectively. A gap 68 may be formed between the medial and lateral condyles 60, 64, with the cam bar 50 extending medial-laterally across the gap 68. The internal articulation surface 54 may include a medial portion 70 continuous with a lateral portion 72. In the embodiment depicted, a fixation post 74 may protrude superiorly from the PS femoral component 14. However, in other embodiments of the PS femoral component 14, the fixation post 74 may be absent and/or other fixation features such as posts, spikes, pegs, webs, keels, or teeth may be present to affix the PS femoral component 14 to a prepared femur (not shown).
