Table 2 Table 1 metrics defined
| Postoperative knee flexion | After surgery, the degree to which the knee can flex |
| Prosthesis design | Several prosthesis designs can be implanted in a TKA |
| Joint line height | Shortest distance between the fibular head and lateral femoral condyle on AP radiograph |
| Patellar height | Measured as the perpendicular distance from the inferior pole of the patellar implant to the joint line of the prosthesis |
| Insall-Salvati ratio | Ratio of the length of the patellar tendon to the length of the patella |
| Position of tibial tray | Measured as the perpendicular distance of the tibial tray from the patellar tendon |
| Patella thickness | The width of the patella (medial to lateral) |
| Patellar tendon length | Length of the patellar tendon superior to inferior |
| Posterior tibial slope | The degree to which the tibia is lateral to the perpendicular line drawn from the prosthesis |
| Patellar tilt | Angle subtended by the equatorial line of the patella and the line connecting the anterior limits of the femoral condyles |
| Femoral condyle offset | Distance between the lateral condyle and the vertical line parallel to the lateral edge of the femur |
