Popis: A new CR TKA design with concave medial and convex lateral tibial polyethylene bearing components was introduced recently to improve functional outcomes. This study aimed to investigate in-vivo articular contact kinematics in unilateral asymmetrical tibial polyethylene geometry CR TKA patients during strenuous knee flexion activities. Fifteen unilateral CR TKA patients (68.4 ± 5.8 years; 6 male/9 female) were evaluated for both knees during sit-to-stand, single-leg deep lunges and step-ups using validated combined computer tomography and dual fluoroscopic imaging system. Medial and lateral condylar contact positions were quantified during weight-bearing flexion activities. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was performed to determine if there is a significant difference in articular contact kinematics during strenuous flexion activities between CR TKA and the non-operated knees. Contact excursions of the lateral condyle in CR TKAs were significantly more anteriorly located than the contralateral non-operated knee during sit-to-stand (3.7 ± 4.8 mm vs − 7.8 ± 4.3 mm) and step-ups (− 1.5 ± 3.2 mm vs − 6.3 ± 5.8 mm). Contact excursions of the lateral condyle in CR TKAs were significantly less laterally located than the contralateral non-operated knee during sit-to-stand (21.4 ± 2.8 mm vs 24.5 ± 4.7 mm) and single-leg deep lunges (22.6 ± 4.4 mm vs 26.2 ± 5.7 mm, p
