Referring to FIG. 34, in one embodiment, the knee prosthesis system may include the femoral component 4001 and a right side tibial component and a left side tibial component. A right side tibial component may be a single unitary component that includes a the features, functions, attributes, and aspects of both the tibial baseplate component 4040 and the right side tibial insert 4010 combined into a single component. A left side tibial component may be a single unitary component that includes a the features, functions, attributes, and aspects of both the tibial baseplate component 4040 (e.g., for example a copy of tibial baseplate component 4040 not shown) and the left side tibial insert 4012 combined into a single component. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that the features, functions, and advantages of a right side tibial insert 4010 that is connected to the tibial baseplate component 4040 and the that the features, functions, and advantages of a left side tibial insert 4012 that is connected to the tibial baseplate component 4040 would be included with a right side tibial component and a left side tibial component, respectively. One potential advantage of using a right side tibial component and a left side tibial component may be that there are fewer parts in the knee prosthesis system.
