Embodiment Construction
[0062]Turning now descriptively to the drawings, in which similar references characters denote similar element throughout the several views, the attached figures illustrate a concise bicondylar knee resurfacing prosthesis, which comprises a thin metallic femoral arcuate component, a metallic tibial tray and a polyethylene tibial insert. Furthermore, the present invention provides a detailed description of the method to insert the mini bicondylar implant through a small surgical incision made over the lateral aspect of the operated knee away from the patella and without any disruption or damage to the quadriceps muscle or the patellar tendon.
[0063]As opposed to conventional surgical total knee replacement surgery, where the patient lies supine on his back, the surgical technique utilized in the present invention is performed with patient lying on his side on the operative table. The operated knee placed onto a surgical platform 15 firmly attached to the side rails of the operative ta...
