Content
The medial and lateral articulation surfaces 32, 34 of the post 30 may be tapered and may permit natural articulation of the CR femoral component 114 with the PS insert 12, which may not be achievable if the post 30 were not tapered. For example, if the post 30 had straight sides instead of tapered sides, the wider width of the post 30 at the base of the post 30 would interfere with the internal articulating surfaces 170, 172 of the medial and lateral condyles 160, 164. When the PS femoral component 14 is coupled with the PS insert 12 to form assembly 10, as in FIG. 1A and FIG. 4, the circular shape of the post superior end 40 in combination with the tapered medial and lateral articulation surfaces 32, 34 of the post 30, may permit the PS femoral component 14 to articulate relative to the PS insert 12 in the manner of a posterior stabilized femoral component. However, when the PS insert 12 is paired and implanted with the CR femoral component 114, the resultant assembly 110 may provide the native articulation and rotation of a cruciate retaining implant.
