A plain radiography may underestimate the steep posterior tibial slope of the medial condyle in elderly Japanese with varus knee osteoarthritis undergoing arthroplasties

A plain radiography may underestimate the steep posterior tibial slope of the medial condyle in elderly Japanese with varus knee osteoarthritis undergoing arthroplasties

Purpose: Understanding the native posterior tibial slope (PTS) is important especially in cruciate ligament retaining total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and uni-compartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). This study investigated the efficacy of PTS with lateral knee radiograph (radiographic PTS) by comparing...
