Methods and devices are provided for knee joint replacement with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) substitution. Generally, the methods and devices can allow a knee joint to be partially or totally replaced in conjunction with substitution of the knee joint's ACL. In one embodiment, a knee replacement prosthesis can include a medial or lateral femoral implant, a femoral intercondylar notch structure, a medial or lateral tibial insert, and an ACL-substitution member. The ACL-substitution member can be configured to engage with the femoral intercondylar notch structure during a full range of knee motion and/or during only early knee flexion.

The device of claim 6, wherein the post is integrally formed with the tibial implant. 9. The device of claim 6, wherein the post is a discrete element configured to couple to the tibial implant. 10. The device of claim 6, further comprising a femoral notch structure coupled to the femoral implant, the femoral notch structure being configured to prevent the post from impinging on a lateral surface of the femur through a full range of knee flexion when the tibial implant is fixed to the tibia and the femoral implant is fixed to the femur, wherein the post is configured to articulate relative to the femoral notch structure. 11. A medical device, comprising: a tibial implant having an inferior surface and an opposite, superior surface, the inferior surface being configured to be fixed to a tibia of a patient;a femoral implant mateable to the tibial implant and having an inferior surface and an opposite, superior surface, the superior surface being configured to be fixed to a femur of the patient, and the tibial implant being configured to articulate relative to the femoral implant when the tibial implant is fixed to the tibia and the femoral implant is fixed to the femur; anda post extending from the superior surface of the tibial implant near an edge thereof such that the post simulates an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) when the tibial implant is fixed to the tibia and the femoral implant is fixed to the femur, a posterior portion of the post being asymmetric about a longitudinal plane perpendicular to the transverse plane, the post having a longitudinal length measured along a line from an anterior edge to a posterior edge of the post, the line being in the longitudinal plane,wherein the tibial implant has medial and lateral compartments, the lateral compartment being configured to be seated on a lateral surface of the tibia such that the lateral surface is substantially covered by the lateral compartment, and the medial compartment being configured to be seated on a medial surface of the tibia such that the medial surface is substantially covered by the medial compartment. 12. The device of claim 11, wherein the post is integrally formed with the tibial implant. 13. The device of claim 11, wherein the post is a discrete element configured to couple to the tibial implant. 14. The device of claim 11, further comprising a femoral notch structure coupled to the femoral implant, the femoral notch structure being configured to prevent the post from impinging on a lateral surface of the femur through a full range of knee flexion when the tibial implant is fixed to the tibia and the femoral implant is fixed to the femur, wherein the post is configured to articulate relative to the femoral notch structure. 15.
