ABSTRACT:
A semiconstrained prosthetic knee for surgical replacement of a dysfunctional knee includes a tibial platform, a movable bearing element, and a femoral component. The prosthetic knee has an adjusted center of internal/external rotation to achieve at least one advantage such as enhancing performance, minimizing wear, compensating for wear and mimicking the natural center of internal/external rotation of the natural joint.
