Figure 4 A. long-leg radiograph. Mechanical axis of the leg measured on a standing long-leg radiograph as the medial angle between the mechanical axis of the femur, defined as the line between the center of the hip and the center of the femoral component, and the mechanical axis of the tibia, defined as the line between the center of the tibial component and the center of the ankle. B. Long-leg radiograph. FFC and FTC angles were measured as the medial angles between the femoral component and the mechanical axis of the femur and between the tibial component and the mechanical axis of the tibia, respectively.

Figure 5. Lateral radiograph showing the LFC and LTC angles. LFC angle was defined as the anterior angle between the femoral component and the cortex of the femur. LTC angle was defined as the angle between the tibial component and the posterior cortex of the tibia.
