Fig. 2

A pattern diagram showing tibial component over-hang (a), under-hang (c) at 1 week after surgery, and tibial bone resorption (TBR) (b, d) at 2 years after surgery on both AP (a, b) and lateral (c, d) radiographs. Tibial component over-hang (positive value) or under-hang (negative value) is defined as the distance between the tangent line of the tibial baseplate and the edge of the ipsilateral tibial cutting surface 1 week after surgery. Tibial bone resorption (TBR) is defined as the distance between the edge of the tibial cutting surface (1 week after surgery) and the closure of bone resorption (2 years after surgery). The distance greater than 1 mm was considered as a valid TBR
