The medial tangent of the proximal tibia is a suitable extra-articular landmark in determining the tibial anteroposterior axis

Table 4 Percentage of cases exhibiting each tibial medial surface shape at the three levels

Significant differences in the percentage at which the three shapes were observed were noted between group A and B (P value < 0.001), and between group A and C (P value < 0.001)
A, the level of the distal edge of the tibial tubercle; B, the level at 5 cm distal to A; C, the level at 10 cm further distally
Data are presented as percentages
