The invention relates to a knee endoprosthesis comprising a
femoral component (1) which has two
condyle surfaces (1a, 1b) for anchoring on the
distal femur, comprising a tibial component (2) for anchoring on the
proximal tibia, and comprising sliding surfaces between the two components (1, 2). The aim of the invention is a knee endoprosthesis which has as little abrasion as possible while optimally reproducing the anatomical and kinematic properties of the natural
knee joint, in particular by means of suitable combinations of materials and by reducing the abrasion-generating surfaces. This isachieved in that the entire
femoral component (1), but at least the
condyle surfaces (1a, 1b) thereof, for articulating with the tibial component (2) consists of a rigidly
sintered ceramic, and the tibial component (2) comprises a tibial baseplate (11) consisting of a rigidly
sintered ceramic, said baseplate having a medial
spherical bearing shell (7) on the baseplate upper face facing the femoralcomponent (1). The medial
spherical bearing shell (7) is an integral component of the tibial baseplate (11) and is integrally formed with the tibial baseplate, and the articulation surface of the medial
femur condyle (1a) is likewise spherically shaped and together with the medial
spherical bearing shell (7) constitutes a congruent
ball joint. A bearing shell (8) which allows the rotation of thefemoral component (1), is made of multiple radii in the anterior-posterior direction, and is arranged non-congruently with the
femur condyle (1b) is arranged laterally adjacent to the medial sphericalbearing shell (7), said bearing shell (8) either being formed integrally with the tibial baseplate (11) or being an inlay which is movable relative to the tibial baseplate (11).
