Content
It should be noted that in the illustrated embodiment a surgeon may deploy the tibial insert 2910b in a right knee because the knee has a valgus condition. However, the tibial insert 2910b may also be deployed (e.g., is suitable for implantation) in a patient’s left knee joint that lacks the valgus condition. While the tibial insert 2910b may be designed for deployment in a left knee joint that lacks a condition, or has a balanced condition, the tibial insert 2910b is illustrated in FIG. 32 being deployed in a right knee joint that has a valgus condition of about eight degrees. Referring still to FIG. 30, with a knee joint having a valgus condition, a surgeon may decide to couple, or connect, the tibial insert 2910a to the tibial baseplate component 2440.
