Content
A patient knee with a varus condition may cause one or more problems or challenges in the kinematics of the knee as the knee transitions through various angles of flexion and/or extension. For example, a varus knee may have undesirable stability (insufficient stability) during flexion. This undesired instability may be caused by a gap imbalance between the medial and lateral condyles of the femoral component 2401 (or the distal end of the femur). Such instability is referred to as mediolateral stability.
