WASHINGTON — According to presented results, a deep-learning computer vision algorithm may accurately measure posterior tibial slope on lateral knee radiographs.
“Posterior tibial slope has significant influences on biomechanics and kinematics, specifically with how it affects the tibia translating anteriorly,” Yining Lu, MD, said in his presentation at the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine Annual Meeting. “Its importance as a risk factor for failure after primary or revision ACL reconstruction has been well-reviewed in the literature,” he added.
