86

Referring to FIGS. 11A-11E, an alternative embodiment of a tibial insert 212 is shown. Tibial insert 212 may be referred to as a cruciate retaining tibial insert 212 (or “CR insert”). In a system of the disclosure, CR insert 212 may be implanted with the CR femoral component 114 and a tibial baseplate component (See FIG. 24A) to form a cruciate retaining knee prosthesis system. The CR insert 212 may include a fixation side 220, which may be an inferior side, opposite an articulation side 222, which may be a superior side. The articulation side 222 may include a medial tibial compartment 224 having a medial condylar articulation surface 225 and a lateral tibial compartment 226 having a lateral condylar articulation surface 227. A central portion 228 may separate the medial tibial compartment 224 from the lateral tibial compartment 226. A recess 245 may be formed posterior to the central portion 228, between the medial and lateral tibial compartments 224, 226, and may provide room for a posterior cruciate ligament. The CR insert 212 may further include an insert base 246 and an engagement feature 248 for engagement with a tibial baseplate component. The CR insert 212 may be coupled with the CR femoral component 114 to form a cruciate retaining assembly. This assembly may be implanted with a suitable tibial baseplate as a cruciate retaining knee prosthesis. The CR insert 212 may also be coupled with the PS femoral component 14 and implanted with a suitable tibial baseplate.
