Table 2 Angular orientation of GP with respect to TP

From: The tibial growth plate as a predictor of the original tibial plateau joint line as a reference for kinematically aligned total knee arthroplasty

 

Angle relative to the TP [°]

Varus/valgus*

Posterior/anterior**

Whole GP

− 3.4 (1.5)#

− 11.4 (3.1)

GP medial half

4.9 (2.9)

− 1.8 (2.5)†

GP lateral half

− 10.4 (2.4)

− 18.6 (4.0)

  1. *Positive value indicates varus inclination with respect to the TP plane
  2. **Positive value indicates posterior inclination with respect to the TP plane
  3. #Values are expressed as mean (standard deviation)
  4. †P = 0.015, variance of the mean angle relative to TP was not equivalent between GP medial half and GP lateral half
