Paragraph Number

161

Referring still to FIG. 29, with a knee joint having a varus condition, a surgeon may decide to couple, or connect, the tibial insert 2910a to the tibial baseplate component 2440. As the surgical procedure is completed, a patient’s knee joint, such as a left knee joint, includes the femoral component 2401 having a medial femoral compartment that includes the medial condylar articulation surface 2404 and a lateral femoral compartment that includes the lateral condylar articulation surface 2405. In the illustrated embodiment, the medial condylar articulation surface 2404 defines the medial femoral compartment and the lateral condylar articulation surface 2405 defines the lateral femoral compartment. The tibial insert 2910a may be used instead of the tibial insert 2910b because the left knee presents a varus condition.
