FIGS 24D and 24E show lateral and medial views of the insert 2410, respectively. In 24D, the lateral tibial compartment 2414 with lateral perimeter 2429 is shown. The lateral articulation surface 2421 may meet the lateral perimeter 2429 at a lateral high point 2430. The lateral low point 2431 may be toward the center of the lateral articulation surface 2421. In 24E, the medial tibial compartment 2413 with medial perimeter 2426 is shown. The medial articulation surface 2420 may meet the medial perimeter 2426 at a medial high point 2427 at or adjacent the medial posterior section 2422. The medial low point 2428 may be closer to the medial anterior section 2423 and toward the medial perimeter 2426. The high points 2427 2430 and low points 2428 2431 on both the medial tibial compartment 2413 and lateral tibial compartment 2414 are in relation to the insert interface 2411. The difference between the medial high point 2427 and the medial low point 2428 may be greater than the difference between the lateral high point 2430 and the lateral low point 2431 The greater difference in height on the medial articulation side may be represented by the medial ramp 2419.
