Unicompartmental arthroplasty of the knee: Cadaver study of tibial component placement

Novel Measurement Technique of the Tibial Slope on Conventional MRI

“…The lateral PTS has been considered an important anatomic reference landmark and guide for restoration of the natural PTS in TKA [20,31], but discrimination between the plateaus is difficult with radiography [10,16,30] and methods using three-dimensional computed reconstructions are time-consuming and complex [20,31]. In literature reviews [16,39], only four [19,33,35,50] of 20 studies report values for both plateaus and only one study [33] measured the PTS for both plateaus on MRI. One recent study [45] measured the differences between the medial and lateral PTS on MRI in patients with ACL rupture, but an additional radiograph was needed for the longitudinal axis determination [45].…”

Unicompartmental arthroplasty of the knee: Cadaver study of the importance of the anterior cruciate ligament

“…After cutting the cruciate ligament, the joint was only examined under loaded conditions. For a detailed description of the experimental technique and the statistical analysis, see Mdler et al (1985).…”
