ABSTRACT:
An asymmetric distal femoral prosthetic component is provided for use in arthroplasty having a sulcus angled laterally upward, and preferably laterally displaced from the midline. This design more closely approximates the configuration of the natural knee and reduces patellar maltracking and excessive wear and failure of the component.
