Paragraph Number

178

Referring still to FIG. 31, with a knee joint having a varus condition, a surgeon may decide to couple, or connect, the tibial insert 2910b to the tibial baseplate component 2840. As the surgical procedure is completed, a patient’s knee joint, such as a right knee joint, includes the femoral component 2801 having a medial femoral compartment that includes the medial condylar articulation surface 2804 and a lateral femoral compartment that includes the lateral condylar articulation surface 2805. In the illustrated embodiment, the medial condylar articulation surface 2804 defines the medial femoral compartment and the lateral condylar articulation surface 2805 defines the lateral femoral compartment. The tibial insert 2910b may be used instead of the tibial insert 2910a because the left knee presents a varus condition.
