Zusammenfassung:Knee implant systems and methods for implantation or use in a knee joint, are disclosed. A knee implant system can include at femoral component (52) having a femur-contacting surface (54) and an opposing articulation surface (56), and proximal (58), distal (60), anterior (62) and posterior (64) portion. The femoral component can include a medial condyle (68) and a lateral condyle (66), where each of the condyles define respective distal-most points (86, 87) and have substantially equal widths (92, 94). The width of each of the condyles can define respective condyle midpoints (90, 91), where the distal-most points can be located laterally from the midpoints. The femoral component can include a trochlear groove (72) that can define a distal-most sulcus point (126) located halfway between the distal-most point of the medial condyle and the distal-most point of the lateral condyle.
