From: Influence of posterior tibial slope on sagittal knee alignment with comparing contralateral knees of anterior cruciate ligament injured patients to healthy knees

Figure 5

Typical lateral-view radiographs of an unaffected knee of an ACL-injured patient (left) and a normal knee (right). The unaffected side of the knees is shown. The patient with the ACL injury was standing with the knee hyperextended and with a large posterior slope to the ground, resulting in less anterior knee tilt compared with that of the patient with a normal knee. PTS, posterior tibial slope; PTS-H, posterior tibial slope to the horizontal line; TAT, tibial shaft anterior tilt to the vertical axis; ACL, anterior cruciate ligament.
