Tibial slope measurement on lateral radiographs. The tibial proximal anatomic axis (TPAA) is drawn connecting the midpoints between the anterior and posterior tibial cortex at five and 15 cm distances to the joint line. A reference line is drawn perpendicular to this at the level of the tibiofemoral joint. The mean between the inclinations of both plateaus is also shown. The angle of this line to the reference line is defined as the posterior tibial slope (PTS)
