Materials and methodsA number of measurements were made in cadavers and radiographs of knees of subjects whose ages ranged from 20 to 68 years. Measurements were limited to those dimensions accessible in the opened joint (with ligaments intact), and clearly defined on the x-ray negatives. These dimensions are illustrated in Fig. 2 (opposite).'a'maximum width of femoral condyles from lateral to medial sides'd'width of lateral condyle'e'width of intracondylar notch'f'width of medial condyle'b and c'maximum dimensions of lateral and medial condyles in antero-posterior direction'g'maximum width of tibial condyles at articular surfacesThese dimensions were measured onx rays from tunnel and lateral views of the knees of 101 subjects (49 men and 52 women). Measurements were also taken from twenty cadaveric knees (12 male and 8 female). The distance of the source from the films was standardized and noted in order to be able to calculate the true dimensions of the knees from the radiographs. The true dimension'a'or'g'was equal to that measured from the x-ray negative, multiplied by Y/Y0. Y and Y0, illustrated
