Abstract
An artificial knee joint comprising: a femoral component comprising a femoral condylar portion made of a medial condylar section and a lateral condylar section which extend in an anteroposterior direction of the knee joint and have convex exterior surfaces, and a tibial component comprising a tibial condylar portion made of a medial condylar section and a lateral condylar section which extend in an anteroposterior direction of the knee joint and have concave interior surfaces so as to slidably receive the medial and lateral condylar sections of the fermoral condylar portion therein; and a space between the respective medial and lateral condylar sections of the femoral condylar portion and of the tibial condylar portion being formed so as to be gradually narrower toward the rear side of the knee joint, thus forming a “rear-in” configuration.
