wherein the condyle surface in the sagittal plane between the first contact point and the second contact point includes a plurality of curved surface sections, and wherein each succeeding curved surface section of the plurality of curved surface section has a radius of curvature less than a radius of curvature of an anteriorly-adjacent preceding curved surface section between the first contact point and the second contact point of the condyle surface.
5. The orthopaedic knee prosthesis of claim 1, wherein the radius of curvature of each succeeding curved surface section is less than of the radius of curvature of its anteriorly-adjacent preceding curved surface section by a distance in the range of 1millimeters to 3 millimeters.
6. The orthopaedic knee prosthesis of claim 5, wherein the radius of curvature of each succeeding curved surface section is less than the radius of curvature of its anteriorly-adjacent preceding curved surface section by about 1 millimeter.
8. The orthopaedic knee prosthesis of claim 1, wherein (i) the plurality of curved surface sections includes an anterior-most curved surface section and (ii) each of the plurality of curved surface sections subtends a corresponding angle, the angle subtended by each of the curved surface sections posterior to the anterior-most curved surface section being less than the angle subtended by an anteriorly-adjacent curved surface section.
10. The orthopaedic knee prosthesis of claim 1, wherein (i) the plurality of curved surface sections includes an anterior-most curved surface section and (ii) each of the plurality of curved surface sections subtends a corresponding angle, the angle subtended by each of the curved surface sections posterior to the anterior-most curved surface section being greater than the angle subtended by an anteriorly-adjacent curved surface section.
12. An orthopaedic knee prosthesis comprising:
wherein the condyle surface in the sagittal plane between the first contact point and the second contact point includes at least five curved surface sections, wherein each succeeding curved surface section of the plurality of curved surface section has a radius of curvature less than a radius of curvature of an anteriorly-adjacent preceding curved surface section between the first contact point and the second contact point of the condyle surface.
13. The orthopaedic knee prosthesis of claim 12, wherein the plurality of curved surface sections includes an anterior-most curved surface section, the radius of curvature of the anterior-most curved surface section having a length greater than the radius of curvature of any other curved surface section of the plurality of curved surface sections.
14. The orthopaedic knee prosthesis of claim 13, wherein the length of the radius of curvature of each curved surface section posterior to the anterior-most curved surface section is less than the length of the radius of curvature of an anteriorly-adjacent curved surface section.
15. The orthopaedic knee prosthesis of claim 14, wherein the length of the radius of curvature of each curved surface section posterior to the anterior-most curved surface section is less than the length of the radius of curvature of an anteriorly-adjacent curved surface section by a distance in the range of 1 millimeters to 3 millimeters.
16. The orthopaedic knee prosthesis of claim 12, wherein (i) the plurality of curved surface sections includes an anterior-most curved surface section and (ii) each of the plurality of curved surface sections subtends a corresponding angle, the angle subtended by each of the curved surface sections posterior to the anterior-most curved surface section being less than the angle subtended by an anteriorly-adjacent curved surface section.
17. The orthopaedic knee prosthesis of claim 12, wherein (i) the plurality of curved surface sections includes an anterior-most curved surface section and (ii) each of the plurality of curved surface sections subtends a corresponding angle, the angle subtended by each of the curved surface sections posterior to the anterior-most curved surface section being greater than the angle subtended by an anteriorly-adjacent curved surface section.
18. An orthopaedic knee prosthesis comprising:
wherein the condyle surface in the sagittal plane between the first contact point and the second contact point includes at least five curved surface sections, each curved surface section subtending a corresponding, substantially equal angle and having a radius of curvature different from any other curved surface section.
