Measuring Posterior Tibial Slope: A Comparison Using a 10-cm Anatomic Axis Versus 15-cm Anatomic Axis
The 10-mPTS method exhibits <1° of deviation compared with the conventional 15-PTS approach, establishing it as a practical and reliable alternative for assessing PTS on lateral knee radiographs, particularly when visualization of 15 cm distally is not possible.
