Relative Sagittal Alignment of the Medial and Lateral Articular Surfaces of the Tibial Plateau Using Radiographic Parameters: A Radiographic Cadaveric Study

On average, tibial slope in the lateral plateau is slightly greater than that in the medial plateau, and variation exists between compartments across patients. Because tibial slope is similar between contralateral limbs, evaluating slope on the uninjured side can provide a template for sagittal plane reduction of tibial plateau fractures.
