Magnetic resonance images depicting the method used to obtain the coronal slopes. a This shows the transverse plane passing through the tibiofemoral joint and showing the dorsal aspect of the tibial plateau. Line A shows the location of the coronal plane that passed closest to the centroid of the tibial plateau. b The longitudinal axis (line L) of the tibia was obtained by determining the midpoint of the medial-to-lateral width of the tibia at two points located as distally in the image as possible (locations 1 and 2). c The coronal tibial slope was the angle between a line joining the peak points on the medial and lateral aspects of the plateau (points A and B) and line P perpendicular to line L
