Murray's Variable Axis knee prosthesis, which was developed in the early 1970s as the first unconstrained cruciate-substituting knee prosthesis. The authors aim to highlight the innovative features of this prosthesis, including its unique design and modular components, and its influence on subsequent knee prosthetic designs despite its eventual replacement by Total Condylar-type designs.
