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.
