Abstract:
A bicondylar knee implants with improved fixation means for resurfacing only the weight-bearing surface of the femoral medial and lateral condyles, while preserving the cruciate ligaments and avoids displacing the patella. The inventive device includes metallic convex articular surfaces for resurfacing the medial and lateral femoral condyles, and concave multifacial non-articular surfaces to be affixed to the resected distal surfaces of the femur. The prosthesis provides claws situated at the anterior and posterior ends of the medial and lateral metallic condyles, which will firmly attach the implant against the resected femoral condyle. The prosthesis is designed to be implanted through a direct lateral approach and does not resurface the femoropatellar joint. Furthermore, a minirobot or electromechanical actuator is used to perform the femoral and tibial bone cuts using electromagnetic bone chipper.

Claim (Index 27):
The prosthetic device of  claim 24 ,\n wherein during the implantation of the tibial platform onto a resected portion of the tibia by insertion of the anterior and posterior transverse retaining claws are adapted to both guide the tibial platform along a resected surface of the tibia and to hold the tibia; and wherein the polyethylene insert is adapted to be affixed to and ultimately retained upon the tibial platform by insertion onto the top surface wherein the during which insertion the transverse retaining ridges engage the restraining lips of the tibial platform, and wherein one of each of the two end edges of the polyethylene insert are ultimately positioned adjacent to the one of each of the side edges of the top surface.
