Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Average thickness of the tibial cartilage in the intact compartment. Intraoperative photographic documentation using a caliper; these images are stored within the radiographic software.—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Frequency of additional tibial resections when using the 10/6 method within a kinematic alignment protocol. Change in the coronal-plane tibial phenotype resulting from the procedure, assessed through analysis of postoperative radiographs.—
