32. IDEAL KNEE
• Extends fully & achieves excellent stability
• Flexes beyond 110 & still retains stability
• Gliding and sliding occurs simultaneously
• Allows more rotation as knee flexes
• Articular contact maximum throughout range
33. • Reduplicate the function of menisci
• Reduplicate the function of cruciates
• Achieve excellent ligament balance
• Have anatomic femur & tibial surface
IDEAL KNEE
48. ACL & PCL SACRIFICED
• Conforming
concave surface of
tibia producing
inherent stability
• Long term results
from HSS still
remains the gold
standard
49. • Limited knee motion
• Tibial component
subluxated posteriorly
• Stair climbing was difficult
TOTAL CONDYLAR DESIGNS
53. More arc of motion
Intact PCL prevents post
subluxation of tibia
Stability is increased
Decreased interface
stresses
Shear forces are well
tolerated
RETAIN THE PCL
54. • Proprioception is better
• Retention of PCL helps in
maintaining the joint line
