This value was independent of age and gender and was unaffected by arthrosis as long as the arcuate contours of the medial socket were not eroded and could be identified by lateral radiography. While the average vallue of this posterior slope was similar to that of a cadaveric study, the range was much greater. The current practice of neglecting the preoperative posterior tibial alope and arbitrarily setting the tibial component at a predetermined posterior tilt angle failed to take into account the wide variation in posterior tibial slope.#0628#en-US
