Posterior tibial slope modification in osteoarthritis knees with different ACL conditions: Cadaveric study of fixed-bearing UKA.

In conclusion, UKA in complete ACLD knees is challenging since 1° of slope change nearly doubles the degree of knee translation compared to ACL-intact knees. The optimum posterior tibial slopes for fixed-bearing UKA patients with partial and complete ACLD are 5-7° and 5-6°, respectively. PMID: 30894072 [PubMed - in process]
