Background One of the important factors affecting the biomechanics of the knee joint is the posterior tibial slope which is the tibial plateau's anatomical inclination toward the posterior of the sagittal plane. This inclination, which affects anterior-posterior stability, is important for the kinematics of the knee joint. Changes in the tibial slope may cause a deficit in the stability and function of the knee joint.
