Table 4.

The lateral tilt, medial tilt and sulcus angles of the femoral trochlea calculated based on 90° cross-sections of three-dimensional models of native and prosthetic knees (n = 42)

90° cross-section
Lateral tilt angle (°) Medial tilt angle (°) Sulcus angle (°)
MP 15.2 11.7 153.1
Native knee 13.5 (2.8) 18.4 (3.2) 148.0 (4.8)

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
