Exact definition of the posterior tibial slope (PTS) requires lateral radiographs of the lower limb. Only lateral knee radiographs are routinely obtained after TKA, however. The purpose of the present study therefore was to analyse the relationship between PTS measurement results on short and expanded lateral knee radiographs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The PTS was measured on 100 consecutive lateral radiographs of the lower limb using the mechanical and three diaphyseal axes with various distances below the tibial plateau.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Significant differences between PTS results were found for all three diaphyseal axes, with the smallest differences and the strongest correlation for a diaphyseal axis at 16 and 20\u00a0cm below the tibial plateau. Using short distances below the tibial plateau (6 and 10\u00a0cm) resulted in an overestimation of the PTS of 3\u00b0, on average.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The PTS measurements in long lateral knee radiographs are more accurate compared to short radiographs. On short lateral knee radiographs, only a estimation of the PTS can be carried out.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Level of evidence<\/jats:title><jats:p>Diagnostic study, Level II.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167-014-2864-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,31]],"date-time":"2014-01-31T15:57:44Z","timestamp":1391183864000},"page":"3163-3167","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":130,"title":["Can the tibial slope be measured on lateral knee radiographs?"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"M.","family":"Faschingbauer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery University of Ulm Oberer Eselsberg 45 89081 Ulm Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Sgroi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery University of Ulm Oberer Eselsberg 45 89081 Ulm Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Juchems","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Diagnostic Radiology University of Ulm Albert\u2010Einstein\u2010Allee 23 89081 Ulm Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H.","family":"Reichel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery University of Ulm Oberer Eselsberg 45 89081 Ulm Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"T.","family":"Kappe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery University of Ulm Oberer Eselsberg 45 89081 Ulm Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005131\u2010200102000\u201000005"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2006.04.098"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.knee.2004.02.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","first-page":"195","article-title":"Evaluation of methods for radiographic measurement of the tibial slope: a study of 83 healthy knees","volume":"82","author":"Brazier J","year":"2009","journal-title":"Rev Chir Orthop Reparatrice Appar Mot"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3928\/01477447\u201020090728\u201027"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0883\u20105403(00)90330\u20109"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167\u2010004\u20100501\u20100"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.76B5.8083263"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00003086-199402000-00031"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","first-page":"859","volume-title":"Knee surgery","author":"Dejour H","year":"1994"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","first-page":"204","article-title":"Active subluxation in extension: a new concept of study of the ACL deficient knee","volume":"1","author":"Dejour H","year":"1988","journal-title":"Am J Knee Surg"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00003086\u2010200204000\u201000050"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00003086-198911000-00003"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_1","first-page":"27","article-title":"The tibial slope.
