Mechanical and kinematic principles are very important in knee prostheses. The use of artificial menisci is the only way to provide a kinematically free range of motion with a wide area of load transfer. This allows polyethylene wear to be minimized. However, not only the design of the prosthesis, but also the patient's underlying disease must be paid more attention.
