ABSTRACT:
A knee joint prosthesis includes a C-shaped femur cap to be fitted onto a resected femur condyle. The C-shaped femur cap is made up of two arch-shaped parts spaced apart and connected by a relatively flat third part. Each of the arch-shaped parts has a different radius. The arch-shaped part with the larger radius has an oblong hole extending in the circumferential direction of the part. A shaft can be placed through the oblong hole from the femur into the tibia. In addition, a tibia cap can be fitted onto the plateau of the tibia.
