Journal Title: Vajira Medical Journal: Journal of Urban Medicine - Year 2020, Vol 64, Issue 5
Abstract
Objective: To determine the coronal tibial slope of Thai adults in Faculty of Medicine Vajira Hospital, Navamindradhiraj University Methods: This study was a descriptive study. Forty-eight Thai adults, aged 18-40 years, in Faculty of Medicine, Vajira Hospital, Navamindradhiraj University were recruited. There were 24 males and 24 females. Anteroposterior hip-knee-ankle films were obtained. Coronal tibial slopes and other parameters were measured. Results: Mean age of the participants was 25.7 +/- 3.4 years. Mean coronal tibial slope was 3.4 +/- 1.7 degrees. Mean knee valgus proximal angle was 4.7 +/- 0.6 degrees. Mean hip-knee-ankle angle was 0.4 +/- 2.5 degrees of varus. Mean mechanical axis deviation 1.0 +/- 7.9 millimeters medially to mechanical axis of lower extremity. Mean ratio of femoral length to height was 0.26 +/- 0.01. Conclusions: The coronal tibial slope in Thai is approximately as same as the literature but the knee valgus proximal angle is different which is about 5 degrees. An orthopaedic surgeon may consider his surgical technique of total knee arthroplasty by cutting the distal femur at 5 degrees of valgus in extension with classic alignment or 8 degrees of valgus in extension with anatomical alignment
