Radiographic reliability of anatomical knee landmarks for joint line determination in healthy adults
In healthy adults, the fibular head serves as a reliable radiologic landmark that may assist in joint line restoration during revision TKA, pending validation in clinical settings. The study also acknowledges its limitations of using plain radiographs and excluding the adductor tubercle as a reference point.
