Fig. 1

Examples of a positive and negative coronal tibial slope. The blue line connects the medial and lateral edges of the tibial plateau. The solid orange line is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tibia and the dashed orange line is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. A negative slope indicates that the lateral edge is lower than the medial edge of the plateau. A positive slope indicates that the lateral edge is more proximal than the medial edge of the plateau
