Abstract (en)

[origin: DE10012059A1] The endoprosthesis has femur (2) and tibia (4) components that can be pivoted against each other and a bending axis (33). The femur component has bent condyle running surface (8) to transmit pressure forces to bent bearing shells (21) of the upper side of a meniscus component (5). The curving axis of the condyle running surfaces is ventrally and medially offset in relation to the bending axis. An axial dowel pin (25) is arranged between the femur and tibia components.
