His innovations include a patellar prosthesis first reported in 1955 [8] and a tibial plateau prosthesis reported in 1960 [9].

Although the tibial plateaus of the modular prosthesis are available only in thicknesses differing by three millimeters, smaller differences in height could be compensated for by adjusting the depths of the trough in the tibial plateau.

The purpose of this study was to determine the functional, clinical and radiographic results obtained with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) preserving both cruciate ligaments using the Hermès™ prosthesis with a fixed plateau.

Based on the anatomy of the human knee and differing from all other prostheses, the lateral tibial "plateau" is convexly curved and the lateral femoral condyle is posteriorly shifted in relation to the medial femoral condyle.

271 LCS prostheses were totally cemented (tibial and femoral) and 295 prostheses with a cemented tibial plateau only.
