Table 4 The average angles between the MC line and the TTPA line at the proximal, mid, and distal levels

From: Analysis of popliteal artery location for high tibial and distal tuberosity osteotomy using contrast-enhanced computed tomography

Level of tibial tuberosity

Angle between MC line and TTPA line (°)

Most proximal level

47.8 ± 4.2 (40.2–54.0)

Mid-level

45.2 ± 5.3 (35.2–52.2)

Most distal level

45.8 ± 5.8 (37.9–52.4)
