Orthopaedic prosthetic system for a hinged-knee prosthesis

An orthopaedic prosthesis, comprising:

• a femoral component configured to be coupled to a surgically-prepared distal end of a patient's femur, the femoral component including a pair of condyles spaced apart to define an intercondylar notch, each condyle including a convex curved condylar surface,
• a tibial component including a tray configured to be coupled to a surgically-prepared proximal end of a patient's tibia and a platform pivotally coupled to the tray, the platform including a pair of concave curved surfaces corresponding to the convex curved condylar surfaces of the femoral component and a proximal opening positioned between the concave curved surfaces,
• a modular insert configured to be selectively coupled to the femoral component, the modular insert including a bracket sized to be positioned in the intercondylar notch of the femoral component, an elongated stem sized to be received in the opening defined in the platform of the tibial component, a hinge pin that pivotally couples the elongated stem to the bracket, and
• a fastener configured to secure the femoral component to the bracket of the modular insert,
• wherein the bracket of the modular insert includes an inferior surface, a superior surface, and a bore that extends from an opening in the inferior surface to an opening in the superior surface,
• wherein the fastener includes (i) a head configured to engage the inferior surface of the bracket, and (ii) an elongated shaft extending away from the head, the elongated shaft configured to extend transverse to the hinge pin through the bore defined in the bracket to engage the femoral component, and
• wherein the platform is configured to pivot about a first axis extending in an inferior-superior direction and the elongated stem is configured to pivot about a second axis relative to the bracket and the femoral component, the second axis extending in a medial-lateral direction orthogonal to the first axis.
