Abstract
The invention relates to a base component for a tibial implant, comprising a lateral compartment (), a medial compartment () and an anterior connection portion () which connects the lateral compartment () and the medial compartment () to one another at anterior. A portion () open to posterior is provided between the lateral compartment () and the medial compartment (). The lateral component () and the medial component () each have a lower side and an upper side, with at least one of the lower sides being configured for the fastening of the base component to the tibia. A marginal web () is formed at at least one of the compartments (), starting from the upper side, said marginal web forming a receiving shell for a meniscus component () of the tibial implant together with the upper side of the compartment. The height of the marginal web () in a posterior region is reduced with respect to other regions of the marginal web () at at least one of the two compartments (). The invention furthermore relates to a tibial implant and to a knee prosthesis.
