Abstract

See full text

A femoral slideway and femoral slideway/femur-size template combination is employed to create an installed knee prosthesis that creates a reduced amount of stress in the collateral ligaments relative to previous prosthesis. In one embodiment, the reduced stress is achieved by employing a femoral slideway/femur-size template combination which results in installation of a femoral slideway which has a smaller dorsal-ventral dimension than a corresponding dimension of the femur prior to resection.
