With the tibial insert 2910a deployed in the knee joint, the medial tibial compartment 2813 engages the lateral femoral compartment at a lateral dwell point (shown in later figures) during flexion and the lateral tibial compartment 2814 engages the medial femoral compartment at a medial dwell point (shown in later figures) during flexion. Those of skill in the art will recognize that this is different from the arrangement should the tibial insert 2910b be deployed between the femoral component 2401 and the tibial baseplate component 2440. Said another way, if the left tibial insert 2910b were deployed in a left knee joint, the medial compartments of each of the femoral component 2401 and the tibial baseplate component 2440 would engage with each other and the lateral compartments of each of the femoral component 2401 and the tibial baseplate component 2440 would engage with each other.
