Content

With the tibial insert 2910b deployed in the knee joint, the medial tibial compartment 2413 engages the lateral femoral compartment at a lateral dwell point (shown in later figures) during flexion and the lateral tibial compartment 2414 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 2910a be deployed between the femoral component 2801 and the tibial baseplate component 2840. Said another way, if the left tibial insert 2910a were deployed in a right knee joint, the medial compartments of each of the femoral component 2801 and the tibial baseplate component 2840 would engage with each other and the lateral compartments of each of the femoral component 2801 and the tibial baseplate component 2840 would engage with each other.
