The inclination of the femoral medial posterior condyle was almost vertical and that of the lateral was tilted medially

ConclusionsThis study found an asymmetrical inclination between medial and lateral condyles. This may be related to the asymmetrical motion of the knee, which is known as medial pivot motion. This finding provides valuable morphological information and may be useful for implant designs for total knee arthroplasty.Level of evidenceIV.
