Posterior Slope of the Tibia Plateau in Malaysian Patients Undergoing Total Knee Replacement
Journal Title: Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal - Year 2009, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The posterior slope of the tibial plateau is an important feature to preserve during knee replacement. The correct slope aids in the amount of flexion and determines if the knee will be loose on flexion. This is a study on the posterior tibial plateau slope based on preoperative and postoperative radiographs of 100 consecutive patients who had total knee replacements. The average posterior slope of the tibia plateau was 10.1 degrees. There is a tendency for patients with higher pre-operative posterior tibial plateau slope to have higher post-operative posterior tibial plate slope.
