FIG. 31 illustrates the orientation and configuration of the femoral component 2801 and tibial baseplate component 2840 for a right knee of a patient where the right knee has a condition. In the illustrated embodiment, the right knee of a patient has a varus condition with the knee joint angled about eight degrees away from a vertical axis, such as the cephalad-caudal axis 2904. The patient may have two knees, each having a knee joint, such as a right knee of a first knee joint, on a first side of the patient and a second knee, such as a left knee of a second knee joint, on a second side of the patient. The tibial insert 2910b deployed in the knee prosthesis system 3000 is configured for a left knee joint and attached to the insert interface 2841 of the tibial baseplate component 2840 of the right knee joint. In such an implementation, another tibial insert may be configured for the right knee joint of the patient, for example tibial insert 2910a.
