Fig. 2

Partial schematics of virtual bone resection on full-length weight-bearing radiographs. The thicknesses of bone resected from the femoral condyles (a) and tibial plateau (b) are shown. Line A is tangential to the most distal portion of the femur and perpendicular to the femoral mechanical axis. Line B is parallel to Line A and 9 mm away from Line A. Line C is tangential to the most proximal articular surface and perpendicular to the tibial mechanical axis. Line D is parallel to Line C and 10 mm below Line C
