About

The aim of this study is to evaluate the posterior condylar angle of the distal femur in Turkish population and its concordance with the current standard prosthesis designs used in total knee arthroplasty and to evaluate anthropometric features of the distal femur in the Turkish population.

Full description

The investigators would like to measure condylar twist angles(CTA), posterior condylar angles(PCA), femoral mediolateral lengths (fML), medial femoral anteroposterior lengths(fMAP), lateral femoral anteroposterior lengths (fLAP), distances between trochlear groove and fMAP(DBTG-fMAP), distances between trochlear groove and fLAP(DBTG-fLAP), medial and lateral posterior condylar cartilage thicknesses(MPCCT/LPCCT) on the Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) of 240 knees of 120 Turkish subjects.
