ACL Injury Risk from Tibial Plateau Slope Calculator

Assess ACL injury risk from posterior tibial plateau slope (PTPS) measured on lateral X-ray. PTPS greater than 9 degrees significantly increases ACL injury risk; greater than 12 degrees: high risk, surgical correction may be indicated.

How It Works

Assess ACL injury risk from posterior tibial plateau slope (PTPS) measured on lateral X-ray. PTPS greater than 9 degrees significantly increases ACL injury risk; greater than 12 degrees: high risk, surgical correction may be indicated

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Posterior tibial plateau slope measured on lateral X-ray — The posterior tibial plateau slope measured on lateral x-ray recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the acl tibia slope result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the posterior tibial plateau slope measured on lateral X-ray for the scenario you are assessing. Assess ACL injury risk from posterior tibial plateau slope (PTPS) measured on lateral X-ray. PTPS greater than 9 degrees significantly increases ACL injury risk; greater than 12 degrees: high risk, surgical correction may be indicated. Use the acl tibia slope result to inform your calculation.
