Table 2 Table 1 metrics defined
Postoperative knee flexion | After surgery, the degree to which the knee can flex |
Prosthesis design | Several prosthesis designs can be implanted in a TKA |
Joint line height | Shortest distance between the fibular head and lateral femoral condyle on AP radiograph |
Patellar height | Measured as the perpendicular distance from the inferior pole of the patellar implant to the joint line of the prosthesis |
Insall-Salvati ratio | Ratio of the length of the patellar tendon to the length of the patella |
Position of tibial tray | Measured as the perpendicular distance of the tibial tray from the patellar tendon |
Patella thickness | The width of the patella (medial to lateral) |
Patellar tendon length | Length of the patellar tendon superior to inferior |
Posterior tibial slope | The degree to which the tibia is lateral to the perpendicular line drawn from the prosthesis |
Patellar tilt | Angle subtended by the equatorial line of the patella and the line connecting the anterior limits of the femoral condyles |
Femoral condyle offset | Distance between the lateral condyle and the vertical line parallel to the lateral edge of the femur |
