This invention proposes a total knee arthroplasty, comprising a tibial liner and a femoral prosthesis. The medial articular surface is constructed as a curved surface with a sagittal radius of RTM, and the distal surface of the medial condyle is constructed as a curved surface with a sagittal radius of RFM that overlaps with the medial articular surface, wherein 1:1.1≥RFM:RTM≥1:1.8. The medial articular surface of the proposed total knee arthroplasty is an arc with a single radius in the medial sagittal plane, and there is a relatively high fit between the medial articular surface and the medial condyle. This ensures stable rotation of the total knee arthroplasty around the medial side and provides a certain range of anterior-posterior displacement for the medial condyle, improving the high flexion performance of the total knee arthroplasty. The high fit between the medial articular surface and the medial condyle also provides a large contact area, effectively reducing wear on the total knee arthroplasty and extending its service life.

This invention provides a tibial liner and a total knee prosthesis. The tibial liner includes a medial liner and a lateral liner. The medial liner is used to engage with the medial condyle, and the lateral liner is used to engage with the lateral condyle. The cross-sectional line formed by the intersection of the articular surface of the medial liner and the sagittal plane includes a first arc segment and a second arc segment, with the second arc segment located posterior to the first arc segment. The sagittal radius of the first arc segment is smaller than that of the second arc segment. The first arc segment includes a functional area that is used to contact the medial condyle during translation and rolling of the femoral prosthesis. The tibial liner provided by this invention effectively reduces the posterior height of the medial liner, allowing the knee prosthesis to rotate stably around the medial side. It also reduces wear on the knee prosthesis and prevents the posterior side of the medial liner from affecting further posterior rolling of the medial condyle during high flexion movements, thus improving the high flexion performance of the knee prosthesis.
