Abstract

ABSTRACT Purpose This study introduces the posterior tibial plateau offset (PTO). It was hypothesised that (1) the PTO is reliably quantifiable and (2) correlates with the posterior tibial slope (PTS). Methods The study involved lateral radiographs of patients who sustained an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft failure and a control group. Exclusion criteria were skeletal immaturity, osteoarthritis (Kellgren and Lawrence grade > I), lateral radiographs with
