title: The rationale for a total knee implant that confers anteroposterior stability throughout range of motion.
abstract: The topic at hand in this series of presentations concerns the design of total knee prostheses. This presentation concerns the rationale for an implant to confer anteroposterior stability without the need for a central "cam and post" mechanism, as is common in posterior cruciate-substituting total knee arthroplasty prostheses.
