View Edit Delete	OPT-13	Next, based on a condition present in the knee joint, a surgeon, or other user, may select 5008 a tibial insert configured for the second side (a side of a patient other than the side that includes the knee joint). The selected tibial insert includes a baseplate interface attachable to the insert interface of the tibial baseplate component. The selected tibial insert also includes a tibial articulation surface configured to articulate with the femoral articulation surface to adapt kinematics of the knee joint.	201	Added by DJM 1 2022	1/25/22, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	OPT-13	Next, a surgeon, or other user, may implant 5004 a femoral component on a femur of the knee joint of the patient. The femoral component may include a femoral articulation surface. Next, a surgeon, or other user, may implant 5006 a tibial baseplate component on a tibia of the knee joint of the patient. The tibial baseplate component may include an insert interface.	200	Added by DJM 1 2022	1/25/22, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	OPT-13	FIG. 35 illustrates of one example method 5000 for adapting kinematics of a knee joint having a condition. Referring to FIGS. 24A through 34, the method 5000 starts with a user, such as a surgeon, determining 5002 that a knee joint of a patient has a condition. This determination may be made based on an observation of the patient, medical imaging scans, or the like. Furthermore, the determination may be made by a user either before or during a surgical procedure in relation to the knee joint.	199	Added by DJM 1 2022	1/25/22, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	OPT-13	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.	198	Added by DJM 1 2022	1/25/22, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	OPT-13	The tibial articulation surface 4020 of the right side tibial insert 4010 is shaped to cooperate with the femoral articulation surface 4002 to change kinematics of a knee joint having the condition if the knee joint is the left side knee joint. The tibial articulation surface 4021 of the left side tibial insert 4012 is shaped to cooperate with the femoral articulation surface 4002 to change kinematics of the knee joint having the condition if the knee joint is the right side knee joint. Advantageously, a surgeon using the knee prosthesis system 4000 can determine intraoperatively whether to use the right side tibial insert 4010 (e.g., if the knee joint has a varus or valgus condition) or the left side tibial insert 4012 (e.g., if the knee joint lacks a varus or valgus condition or has a balanced condition). The knee joint may present with a varus condition, a valgus condition, or a balanced condition. As used herein, a "balanced condition" refers to a state of a bone and/or joint having a desired alignment of the bone or joint with a central axis of a limb or anatomical structure that includes the bone and/or joint. In certain embodiments, a balanced condition refers to a condition of the bone or joint that is not a varus condition and is not a valgus condition.	197	Added by DJM 1 2022	1/25/22, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	OPT-13	The left side tibial insert 4012 is configured to attach to the insert interface 4041 of the tibial baseplate component 4040. In one embodiment, the left side tibial insert 4012 may include an interface 4013 that is compatible with the insert interface 4041. The left side tibial insert 4012 also includes a tibial articulation surface 4021. If the left side tibial insert 4012 is installed between the femoral component 4001 and the tibial baseplate component 4040, the tibial articulation surface 4021 articulates with the femoral articulation surface 4002 and rotates the tibia about a longitudinal axis of the tibia passing through a medial tibial compartment 4023 of the left side tibial insert 4010 during flexion or extension of a left side knee joint.	196	Added by DJM 1 2022	1/25/22, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	OPT-13	The right side tibial insert 4010 is configured to attach to the insert interface 4041 of the tibial baseplate component 4040. In one embodiment, the right side tibial insert 4010 may include an interface 4011 that is compatible with the insert interface 4041. The right side tibial insert 4010 also includes a tibial articulation surface 4020. If the right side tibial insert 4010 is installed between the femoral component 4001 and the tibial baseplate component 4040, the tibial articulation surface 4020 articulates with the femoral articulation surface 4002 and rotates the tibia about a longitudinal axis of the tibia passing through a medial tibial compartment 4022 of the right side tibial insert 4010 during flexion or extension of a right side knee joint.	195	Added by DJM 1 2022	1/25/22, 12:00 AM
