A posterior tibial slope angle over 12 degrees is critical to epiphyseal fracture of the proximal tibia: Three-dimensional finite element analysis

Introduction: The effects of the proximal tibial slope angle on the proximal tibial epiphysis remain unknown. To elucidate those effects, we investigated the strain distribution in proximal tibial epiphysis with different proximal tibial slope angles and proximal tibial epiphysis closure periods usi...
