Abstract
The present disclosure discloses an artificial femoral prosthesis (100) for knee arthroplasty, a tibial prosthesis (150), a medial femoral unicompartmental prosthesis (201), a lateral femoral unicompartmental prosthesis (301), and a femoral trochlear prosthesis (401). The femoral prosthesis (100) comprises: a medial condyle portion (51) and a medial trochlear portion (131), wherein an articular surface of the medial condyle portion appears in a sagittal section as an arc of a first ellipse (38), and an articular surface of the medial trochlear portion appears in the sagittal section as an arc of a second ellipse or circle (40); and lateral members (91, 141), comprising a lateral trochlear portion (141) and a lateral condyle portion (91), wherein an articular surface of the lateral trochlear portion appears in the sagittal section as an arc of a third ellipse or circle (80), and an articular surface of the lateral condyle portion appears in the sagittal section as an arc of a fourth ellipse (78). The prostheses according to the above embodiments of the present disclosure can better conform to geometric shapes of normal femoral condyles of humans, thereby simplifying greatly design o…
