High variability of tibial slope measurement methods in daily clinical practice: Comparisons between measurements on lateral radiograph, magnetic resonance imaging, and computed tomography

Tibial slope measurements are important in guiding clinical decisions in the field of orthopedic surgery. However, there are multiple techniques across different medical imaging modalities and little is known about its impact on result and validity of the measurement. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare tibial slope measurements from lateral radiographs, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scans in order to better assess the clinical significance of measured tibial slope values.
