Patent attributes
A knee prosthesis for total knee replacement has femoral and tibial joint components. The femoral component has a medial condyle, a lateral condyle and an intercondylar recess between the condyles. The condyles have in sagittal profile a spiral outer surface with increasing anterior-to-posterior radii of curvature, such as radii that follow a Fibonacci sequence ratio per every quadrant. The tibial component is lateral-medial mirror symmetric in coronal profile and has shallow concave medial and lateral condyle surfaces for receiving corresponding condyles of the femoral component as bearing surfaces when the femoral and tibial components are biased together under applied tension by ligaments. The shallow concave condyle surfaces in sagittal profile have sharp radii of curvature near anterior and posterior ends of the condyle surfaces that can accommodate up to 5° anterior and up to 6° posterior misplacement error and up to 4° rotational mismatch between the femoral and tibial components.
