Table 1 Definition of the radiographic measurements using the anteroposterior and lateral view
Tibial slope | Angle between the tibial plateau and the mechanical axis in the lateral view |
|---|---|
Femoral roof angle | Angle between the Blumensaat’s line and the posterior cortical bone of the femur |
Intraarticular aperture site of the tibial tunnel in the AP view | Aperture site in % = 100% × A/A + B A = distance from the medial border of the tibial plateau to the center of the tunnel B = distance from the lateral border of the tibial plateau to the center of the tunnel |
Intraarticular aperture site of the tibial tunnel in the lateral view | Aperture site in % = 100% × A/A + B A = distance from the anterior border of the tibial plateau to the center of the tunnel B = distance from the posterior border of the tibial plateau to the center of the tunnel |
Angle of the tibial tunnel in the AP view | Angle between the tibial plateau and the tibial tunnel |
Angle of the tibial tunnel in the lateral view | Angle between the tibial plateau and the tibial tunnel |
Intraarticular aperture of the femoral tunnel in the lateral view | Aperture site at the Blumsaat’s line in % = 100% × A/A + B A = distance from the posterior femoral cortical bone to the center of the tunnel B = distance from the anterior femoral condyle to the center of the tunnel |
Femoral angle in the AP view | Angle between a line drawn perpendicular to the tibial plateau and the femoral tunnel |
Graft angulation in the AP view | Angle between the graft orientation and the tibial plateau |
