Table 2.

The lateral tilt, medial tilt and sulcus angles of the femoral trochlea calculated based on 0° cross-sections of three-dimensional models of native and prosthetic knees (n = 28)

0° cross-section
Lateral tilt angle (°) Medial tilt angle (°) Sulcus angle (°)
MP 15.5 9.8 172.6
Triathlon 13.3 11.4 173.2
NRG 13.9 12.1 173.5
NexGen 12.5 13.2 172.3
Native knee 16.4 (2.9) 4.5 (5.3) 159.1 (6.7)

All parameters are reported as mean or mean (standard deviation)

Significant differences (p < 0.05) between the native and prosthetic knees were noted for all angles evaluated
