Content
The resultant tibiofemoral rotation as a result of the asymmetry of the insert 2410 may provide additional joint stability in the patient. As the medial dwell point 1540 migrates medially, toward the sagittal plane, the medial collateral ligaments of the knee may maintain tension as the knee moves from extension to flexion. The tibiofemoral rotation and maintenance of tension of the medial ligaments may more accurately mimic the movement of a healthy knee. Assembly 2400 may allow a more natural biomechanical range of motion of the knee compared to knee prosthetics with symmetric medial and lateral articulation sides.
