Abstract:
A complete prosthetic of the knee including a femoral part and a meniscus having an anterior upper edge and a posterior upper edge, said femoral part including at least two condyles separated by an inter-condyle clear interval and a trochlea part starting from the trochlear end of the inter-condyle clear interval, wherein at least two cavities are implemented in said trochlea part, while leaving the condyles unaffected, the dimension and shapes of said at least two cavities and the anterior upper edge of said meniscus being such that the femoral part is blocked in its flexion by rotation in the case of negative angles beyond an inferior negative angle limit when the anterior upper edge of the meniscus comes to rest against said at least two cavities, wherein said anterior upper edge has a greater height than the height of the posterior upper edge, relative to the flat base of the meniscus.
