Artificial knee implants consist of three components:

The tibial component is a flat metal platform that attaches to the top of the tibia bone. This provides a surface for the femoral component to glide on.
The femoral component is a curved piece made of metal alloy or very hard plastic that caps the end of the femur bone. Its smooth surface mimics the rounded end of the femur and the underside glides on the tibial component.
A plastic spacer is inserted between the tibial and femoral components to provide a smooth gliding surface. The patellar component is a dome-shaped disk that caps the back of the kneecap.
