Table 2 Table 1 metrics defined
Postoperative knee flexionAfter surgery, the degree to which the knee can flex
Prosthesis designSeveral prosthesis designs can be implanted in a TKA
Joint line heightShortest distance between the fibular head and lateral femoral condyle on AP radiograph
Patellar heightMeasured as the perpendicular distance from the inferior pole of the patellar implant to the joint line of the prosthesis
Insall-Salvati ratioRatio of the length of the patellar tendon to the length of the patella
Position of tibial trayMeasured as the perpendicular distance of the tibial tray from the patellar tendon
Patella thicknessThe width of the patella (medial to lateral)
Patellar tendon lengthLength of the patellar tendon superior to inferior
Posterior tibial slopeThe degree to which the tibia is lateral to the perpendicular line drawn from the prosthesis
Patellar tiltAngle subtended by the equatorial line of the patella and the line connecting the anterior limits of the femoral condyles
Femoral condyle offsetDistance between the lateral condyle and the vertical line parallel to the lateral edge of the femur
