Claim 0:
1. A knee joint prosthesis configured to move between an extended position and a flexion position, the knee joint prosthesis comprising:
a femoral component configured to be mounted to a femur;
a tibial component configured to be mounted to a tibia, the tibial component configured to engage the femoral component to form the knee joint prosthesis;
a post fixedly connected to one of the femoral component and the tibial component, and a cam recess defined on the other of the femoral component and the tibial component, the cam recess having a concave cam surface that is configured to engage a rounded and convex end surface of the post in the extended position of the knee joint prosthesis; and
an artificial ligament fixedly connected to the femoral component and the tibial component to simulate either an anterior cruciate ligament or a posterior cruciate ligament,
wherein the post and the ligament are oriented cross-wise as viewed in a sagittal plane, a frontal plane, or both the sagittal plane and the frontal plane.
