Biomechanical Characteristics of Three Baseplate Rotational Arrangement Techniques in Total Knee Arthroplasty

Figure 6

Representative strain distribution on the cortical bone of the proximal tibia immediately below the TKA baseplate (under loading conditions corresponding to the ADL of descending stairs) for the (a) anterior cortex line, (b) tibial tuberosity one-third line, and (c) tibial tuberosity end line rotational arrangement techniques (A, anterior; M, medial, L, lateral; and P, posterior regions).
