Abstract:
Systems and methods for providing deeper knee flexion capabilities. In some instances, such systems and methods include a femoral knee replacement component that includes an articular surface, a first interior surface, and a second interior surface, wherein the first and second interior surfaces run substantially parallel to each other. In some cases, the articular surface includes an anterior condylar extension that is configured to replace an anterior articular cartilage of a femur such that the anterior extension is configured to terminate adjacent to a proximal limit of the anterior articular cartilage of the femur. Other implementations are also discussed.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for placing a femoral component on a femur, the method comprising:\n resecting articular cartilage from a distal portion of the femur, wherein the articular cartilage is removed from at least one of the femur's anterior condyles to within about 0 mm and about 15 mm of a proximal limit of the articular cartilage; and positioning the femoral component onto the femur so that an anterior-most extension of the femoral component terminates within about 15 mm of the proximal limit.
