Abstract

The orientation of the femur, tibia, and patella are important considerations in total knee arthroplasty. Our goal was to describe the relationships between the femoral epicondylar (FE) axis, posterior femoral (PF) axis, posterior tibial (PT) axis, patellar (PAT) axis, and patellar ligament (PL). A secondary goal was to determine where the short axis of the tibial tray intersects the patellar ligament as a function of tibial component rotation. Thirty normal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans were analyzed. Strong relationships were found between the FE and PAT axes (2 degrees +/- 3 degrees, r(2) = 0.73), and between the FE and PF axes (6 degrees +/- 2 degrees, r(2) = 0.77). When the tibial baseplate was aligned along the PT axis, 30% of the cases were in an ideal position. When the FE axis was used, 73% were ideal.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 May 2016.
All research outputs
#4,836,164
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from The Journal of Arthroplasty
#1,000
of 4,623 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#8,471
of 53,062 outputs
Outputs of similar age from The Journal of Arthroplasty
#2
of 10 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 79th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,623 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 53,062 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 8 of them.
