Levels of the three horizontal planes in measuring the medial tangent angles of the tibia. a the level of the distal edge of the tibial tubercle; b the level at 5 cm distal to (a); c the level at 10 cm further distally. The distal edge of the tibial tubercle was defined as the inflection point on the downslope of the tibial tubercle. A white arrow indicates the distance between the top of the tibia tubercle and the distal edge of the tibial tubercle
