8 Zantop (2008) [50] 18.5 × 22.3 20 Standard lateral radiographs
Theoretical center* (pooled M ± SD) 24.2 ± 4.0 × 21.6 ± 5.2

x, distance from the center of the footprint to the proximal border along line t; y, distance from the center of the footprint to the Blumensaat line; x and y are expressed as percentages of t and h. t, total sagittal diameter of the lateral condyle along the Blumensaat line; h, maximum intercondylar notch height; CT, computed tomography; M ± SD, mean ± standard deviation.

*The theoretical center of the anteromedial bundle was deduced by the pooled M ± SD of eight studies.
