Claims20
An orthopedic implant comprising:
- a distal femoral component comprising a first condyle bearing surface having a first profile formed of a plurality of consecutive arcs of curvature selected based on an identified ethnic descent of a patient, the plurality of consecutive arcs selected as a single set of arcs including one of:
- a first set of arcs including a total of three separate arcs of curvature corresponding with a patient being of Asian descent,
- a second set of arcs including a total of four separate arcs of curvature corresponding with a patient being of African descent, or
- a third set of arcs including a total of four separate arcs of curvature corresponding with a patient being of European descent;
- and
- a proximal tibial component comprising a first condyle bearing surface having a second profile comprising at least three parallel arcs of curvature.
