Meanings of tibial slope in English

The tibial slope is essential in knee biomechanics, both for ligament function and knee kinematics.

The spreader should be positioned at the posterior cortical bone to avoid increasing the tibial slope.

The higher the degree of postoperative mechanical axis valgus, the higher the degree of posterior tibial slope that resulted.

Conclusions: Medial opening wedge PTO using a recently developed instrumentation system was found to have no effect on tibial slope.

Findings: Medial and lateral posterior tibial slope were predictive factors for ACL strain during some landings with higher combined loads.

The purpose of this study was to determine the native posterior tibial slope in patients undergoing a medial or lateral UKA.

Linear regression analyses were performed between these angles and ACL strain to determine whether tibial slope was a predictive factor for ACL strain.

MRIs were taken of each specimen and used to calculate medial compartment posterior tibial slope, lateral compartment posterior tibial slope, and coronal plane tibial slope.

Sagittal plane changes after dome-type HTO basically decreasing the tibial slope should be taken into account for subsequent reconstructive procedures such as total knee arthroplasty.

High tibial osteotomy (HTO) designed primarily to correct frontal plane malalignment in osteoarthritis of the knee joint can cause unintentional tibial slope changes.

Interpretation: Tibial slope has the potential to influence ACL strain during landing, especially when large abduction moments are present at the knee.
