View Edit Delete	OPT-13	Referring to FIGS. 1A-2, an assembly 10 for an implantable knee prosthesis is shown including a femoral component 14 and a tibial insert 12. As used herein, “femoral" describes a feature, aspect, component, function, attribute, structure or part that is, or is configured to, connect to, couple to, interact with, interoperate with or is otherwise associated with a femur bone of a human or animal. As used herein, an “insert” refers to an apparatus, instrument, structure, device, component, system, or assembly that is structured, organized, configured, designed, arranged, or engineered to couple or connect to one or more other components, parts, or devices. In certain embodiments, an insert is configured to be inserted or deployed between two or more other components or structures. The femoral component 14 and tibial insert 12 are shown coupled in extension in FIG. 1A, coupled in flexion in FIG. 1B, and shown in an exploded view in FIG. 2. The tibial insert 12 may be further coupled to a tibial baseplate component (See FIG. 24A) which may be implanted in a prepared tibia of a patient (also not shown). The femoral component 14 and tibial insert 12 illustrated in FIGS. 1A-2 are right femoral and tibial insert components. In certain embodiments, left femoral and tibial insert components may be mirror images of the right femoral and tibial insert components shown in FIGS. 1A-2. The femoral component 14 may also be referred to as a posterior stabilizing femoral component 14 (or “PS femoral component”) and the tibial insert 12 may also be referred to as a posterior stabilizing tibial insert (or “PS insert”).	76	Added by DJM 1 2022	1/25/22, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	OPT-13	The present disclosure is an apparatus, system, and method for implantation in a knee joint of a patient where the knee joint has a condition such as varus or valgus. In one embodiment, the system uses a tibial insert and/or a tibial component configured for a second knee opposite of the knee joint receiving arthroplasty. By using a tibial insert and/or a tibial component designed for an opposite knee, the condition of the knee joint is remediated.	75	Added by DJM 1 2022	1/25/22, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	OPT-13	Posterior means toward the back of a body. Superior or cephalad means toward the head. Inferior or caudal means toward the feet or tail. Medial means toward the midline of a body, particularly toward a plane of bilateral symmetry of the body. Lateral means away from the midline of a body or away from a plane of bilateral symmetry of the body. Axial means toward a central axis of a body. Abaxial means away from a central axis of a body. Ipsilateral means on the same side of the body. Contralateral means on the opposite side of the body. Proximal means toward the trunk of the body. Proximal may also mean toward a user or operator. Distal means away from the trunk. Distal may also mean away from a user or operator. Dorsal means toward the top of the foot. Plantar means toward the sole of the foot. Antegrade means forward moving from a proximal location/position to a distal location/position or moving in a forward direction. Retrograde means backward moving from a distal location/position to a proximal location/position or moving in a backwards direction. Sagittal refers to a midline of a patient’s anatomy, which divides the body into left or right halves. The sagittal plane may be in the center of the body, splitting it into two halves.	72	Added by DJM 1 2022	1/25/22, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	OPT-13	The intersection of the sagittal and coronal planes defines a superior-inferior or cephalad-caudal axis. The intersection of the sagittal and transverse planes defines an anterior-posterior axis. The intersection of the coronal and transverse planes defines a medial-lateral axis. The superior-inferior or cephalad-caudal axis, the anterior-posterior axis, and the medial-lateral axis are mutually perpendicular. Anterior means toward the front of a body.	71	Added by DJM 1 2022	1/25/22, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	OPT-13	Standard medical planes of reference and descriptive terminology are employed in this specification. While these terms are commonly used to refer to the human body, certain terms are applicable to physical objects in general. A standard system of three mutually perpendicular reference planes is employed. A sagittal plane divides a body into right and left portions. A coronal plane divides a body into anterior and posterior portions. A transverse plane divides a body into superior and inferior portions. A mid-sagittal, mid-coronal, or mid-transverse plane divides a body into equal portions, which may be bilaterally symmetric.	70	Added by DJM 1 2022	1/25/22, 12:00 AM

View Edit Delete	OPT-13	Implementations may include one or more of the following features. The knee joint prosthesis system where the knee joint is a right knee joint of the patient; and where the left side tibial insert is attached to the insert interface of the tibial baseplate component of the right knee joint such that the left side tibial insert constrains the femoral articulation surface within the medial tibial compartment and mitigates the condition. The tibial articulation surface facilitates tibiofemoral rotation within the medial tibial compartment during flexion of the knee joint where the condition is a valgus knee joint. The tibial articulation surface adjusts mediolateral stability during flexion of the knee joint where the condition is a varus knee joint. The tibial articulation surface increases constraint on a lateral collateral ligament of the knee joint and decreases tension on a medial collateral ligament of the knee joint. The medial tibial compartment may include a medial perimeter, a medial high point, and a medial low point and where each of the right side tibial insert and the left side tibial insert may include a lateral tibial compartment that may include a lateral perimeter, a lateral high point, and a lateral low point. Each of the right side tibial insert and the left side tibial insert may include a lateral tibial compartment and a medial tibial compartment and where the femoral articulation surface may include a medial femoral compartment and a lateral femoral compartment and where the medial tibial compartment engages the lateral femoral compartment at a lateral dwell point during flexion and the lateral tibial compartment engages the medial femoral compartment at a medial dwell point during flexion.	12	Added by DJM 1 2022	1/25/22, 12:00 AM
