PCA – the posterior condylar angle; PTFS-TEA – the angle between the posterior tangent of the distal femoral shaft and the transepicondylar axis; MFL/MTL – the ratio of medial femoral condyle length to medial tibial plateau length at knee extension; MTS – medial tibial slopes; LTS – lateral tibial slopes; MTS-LTS – the difference between MTS and LTS; aMPTA – the anatomical medial proximal tibia angle; aLDFA – the anatomical lateral distal femoral angle; DCA – the distal condylar angle.
