Stanford MSK
Atlas of MSK Measurements
DEFINITION:
Using a lateral film of the knee, angle is measured by three lines. The first is tangential to the tibial crest, the second is perpendicular to the first line, and the third is tangential to the proximal tibial articular surface. Observe resulting angle from second and third line.
ABNORMAL:
if > 22 degrees then depression ( RID6344 ) due to fracture
RADLEX:
knee ( RID2743 ), knee joint ( RID2751 ), tibia ( RID2885
