Abstract

In one embodiment of the present invention a mobile bearing knee prosthesis may include an interface (e.g., a spherical radius interface) comprised of a concave superior surface on a tibial tray and a convex inferior surface on a tibial insert. In another embodiment of the present invention a mobile bearing knee prosthesis may include an interface (e.g., a spherical radius interface) comprised of a convex superior surface on a tibial tray and a concave inferior surface on a tibial insert. In another embodiment of the present invention a mobile bearing knee prosthesis may include a biconcave interface (e.g., having a 'wave' like surface geometry). This 'wave' like surface geometry may be at the interface between a tibial insert and a tibial tray in the mobile bearing knee (as opposed to the interface between the tibial insert and a femoral component).
