The tibial insert 2910b includes a tibial articulation surface 2412 having a medial tibial compartment 2413 and a lateral tibial compartment 2414. The tibial insert 2910a includes a tibial articulation surface 2412 having medial tibial compartment 2413 and a lateral tibial compartment 2414. Advantageously, in one embodiment, the baseplate interface 2411 of the tibial insert 2910b is complementary to, and/or compatible with, the insert interface 2841 of the tibial baseplate component 2840. The baseplate interface 2811 of the tibial insert 2910a is also complementary to, and/or compatible with, the insert interface 2841 of the tibial baseplate component 2840. The compatible interfaces 2411, 2841 enable the surgeon to deploy the tibial insert 2910b with the tibial baseplate component 2840 and the femoral component 2801 for a right knee to adapt, adjust, refine, or modify kinematics of a patient’s left knee joint having a condition. The tibial articulation surface 2412 is shaped to cooperate with the femoral articulation surface to adapt kinematics of a knee joint having a condition. In the illustrated embodiment, the condition is a varus condition, the condition can also be one of a valgus condition and a balanced condition.
