Abstract
A knee prosthetic including a tibia part ( ), which includes a tibia plate ( ) that co-operates with at least one meniscal element by a first side ( ), and co-operates with a tibia resection plan by a second side ( ), including a tibia pin ( ) connected with the tibia plate ( ), which penetrates into the tibia to fix the tibia part ( ) into it; and at least one compensating tibia block ( ), which fits flatly between the second side ( ) of the tibia plate ( ) and the tibia itself, in order to compensate for a lack or absence of local bone tissue between the tibia and the resection plan. This tibia block ( ) also co-operates with said tibia part ( ) by way of complementary fixating means ( ) that are implemented on the tibia block ( ) and tibia part, wherein the complementary fixating means are of the pin ( ) and hole ( ) type and are implemented on the tibia block and the base ( ) of the tibia pin.
