c)
Articular Surface
The New Jersey LCS uses a common generating curve to form the articular
surface of the femur as shown in Fig. 6.83.
The generating curve used for the femoral component is slightly different than
the curve used to form the tibial and patellar articulating surfaces insuring that at
least quasi-line contact will be maintained for all motion phases.
