From: Large lateral tibial slope and lateral-to-medial slope difference are risk factors for poorer clinical outcomes after posterolateral meniscus root tear repair in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

Illustration of sagittal tibial slope measurement on T1 MRI sagittal sequence. The mid-articulating portion of the medial (a) and lateral (b) plateau were identified and corresponding sagittal images were selected for the measurement of the tibial slope. Using the sagittal images, the plateau slope was drawn connecting peak anterior and posterior points on the plateau. The perpendicular line to the tibial axis was reproduced in this image. The angle between these lines was defined as the tibial slope
