BackgroundTotal knee arthroplasty is the optimal treatment for patients with advanced knee joint disease; it can greatly relieve pain, restore motion function, and improve life quality. This study retrospectively investigated the imaging measurement of normal knee parameters and evaluated their clinical value.MethodsBetween February 2010 and May 2014 and in accordance with the inclusion criteria, a total of 677 knees (334 female knees and 343 male knees) were categorized into 3 age groups. Clinical and X-ray data, including the posterior slope angle of the tibial plateau, patella thickness, longitudinal length of the patella and width of the patella, were measured by using AutoCAD 10.0 software. All measured variables were statistically analyzed by SPSS statistical software (version 18.0).ResultsData are presented as the mean±standard deviation. The male posterior slope angles on the left and right side were 6.78±3.43° and 8.79± 3.44°, respectively; the corresponding female measurements were 5.42±3.19° and 6.69±3.10,° respectively. For males and females, the patella thicknesses, longitudinal patella lengths and patella widths were 2.35±0.24 cm and 2.11±0.20 cm, 5.14±0.45 cm and 4.67±0.35 cm, and 5.48±0.44 cm and 4.88±0.41 cm, respectively. Based on the data obtained, we found that there were significant differences between two sides in terms of the posterior slope angles of young and middle-aged groups (P 0.01). The patella parameters showed difference between two sides of the knee (P 0.05), and no significant difference was observed between genders (P > 0.05).ConclusionIn this study, a large amount of knee measurements was obtained, and a local normal knee database was developed. Imaging measurements prior to total knee arthroplasty are clinically important for increasing the accuracy and long-term efficacy. These data can also be useful to knee surgery and sports medicine.
