Posterior tibial slope measurement among Saudi population

To measure the posterior slope of tibia among healthy Saudi population using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). A retrospective study review 151 knee MRIs at King Khaled University Hospital, Riyadh, Arabia. All patients with no previous surgical intervention to their knees and did not suffer any bone injury around were included. Three different orthopedic physicians (two senior residents, one fellow) measured tibial (PTS) angle for all patients, average was taken readings a sagittal T2 MRI cut. Patients history joint, trauma involving distal femur or proximal tibia, osteoarthritis inflammatory arthritis, congenital deformities excluded from study. The mean age 28.15 in range 15-50 years. median mode 8.76, 8.73, 7.53, respectively. In addition, (degree) females 9.69±4.02 8.76±4.15 males. Maximum minimum calculated these respectively 19.73 0.3 degrees. Our findings are that is 8.76˚. results showed difference PTS people comparing deferent communities. association between numbers gender tested significant correlation. this study, we calculate weight height cases as independent factors. Because that, upcoming studies might consider
