Abstract
The St. Georg total knee prosthesis has been modified to incorporate axial rotation of the tibial component. The kinematics approximate more those of the normal knee and the stress imposed at the bone-cement interface are attenuated, thus reducing the risk of mechanical failure. The construction and laboratory testing are described.Entities:
