From a biomechanical perspective, the posterior tibial slope affects not only knee kinematics but also contact pressure, potentially contributing to the development and progression of degenerative change in the joint over time. However, whether or not there is an association on the chondral wear pattern of the medial tibial plateau remains unclear.</p><p><strong>Questions/purposes: </strong>(1) Is posterior tibial slope associated with the chondral wear pattern of the medial tibial plateau? (2) Does an increase in posterior tibial slope correlate with chondral wear in the posterior part of the medial tibial plateau?</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The chondral wear pattern of the medial tibial plateau was evaluated in 2555 knees (1912 patients) that underwent primary TKA for medial osteoarthritis (OA) by a single surgeon between July 2005 and December 2022. A total of 290 knees were excluded because of (1) inflammatory arthritis, (2) extensive chondral wear across the medial tibial plateau that prevented pattern classification, or (3) prior surgeries that influenced the wear pattern. To avoid including bilateral knees from the same patient, only one knee per patient was analyzed, with the knee selected at random. Accordingly, the final study cohort consisted of 1703 patients (1703 knees). Intraoperative assessment of medial tibial plateau chondral wear patterns was recorded in a preformatted electronic database. The surgeon identified the region with the most severe wear from among three predefined areas-anterior, central, and posterior-using a categorical input. Based on this selection, chondral wear patterns were classified as anteromedial OA, centromedial OA, or posteromedial OA. To answer our primary study question, we measured the posterior tibial slope on preoperative true lateral radiographs and compared it across different chondral wear patterns. To answer our second study question, we analyzed the association between posterior tibial slope and chondral wear patterns using multinomial logistic regression, adjusting for variables such as patient demographics, mechanical hip-knee-ankle (mHKA) angle, and the presence of ACL deficiency and medial meniscus radial tear. Among the 1703 knees, 33% (562 of 1703) were classified as having anteromedial OA, 28% (477 of 1703) as centromedial OA, and 39% (664 of 1703) as posteromedial OA. The mean ± SD posterior tibial slope was 10° ± 4°, and the mean mHKA angle was 10° ± 5°.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>There was a difference in posterior tibial slope between all three groups, with the slope progressively increasing as the chondral wear pattern shifted from anterior to posterior: mean ± SD 8° ± 3° in anteromedial OA, 10° ± 3° in centromedial OA, and 12° ± 3° in posteromedia","PeriodicalId":10404,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research®","volume":" ","pages":"966-975"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145892276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
