Abstract:Medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA) and posterior proximal tibial angle (PPTA) are commonly used to characterize the geometry of proximal tibia and are important considerations in lower extremity realignment procedures and total knee arthroplasty. This study utilized a large cadaveric collection to explore relationships between tibial slope and coronal plane deformity of the tibia. We utilized 462 well-preserved skeletons (924 tibiae), excluding any with fracture or obvious rheumatologic or infectious findings… Show more
