Abstract

An orthopaedic system includes a tibial insert and a femoral component configured to articulate on the tibial insert. The tibial insert includes a pair of articular surfaces spaced apart by a post. The femoral component includes a pair of femoral condyles spaced apart by a notch in which a cam is located. During flexion, the cam of the femoral component is configured to contact the post of the tibial insert. The dwell point of the medial articular surface of the tibial insert is located, relative to the contact point between the post and tibial insert, to improve stability of the femoral component.
