Caudal condylar tibial axis
Caudal condylar tibial axis
- Acronym: CdCTA
Definition
The caudal condylar tibial axis is a landmark used to assess tibial torsion and provide guidance for corrections. It is determined from transverse CT slices from the proximal aspect of the tibia.
The caudal condylar tibial axis is defined as the line parallel to the caudal surface of tibia immediately distal to the proximal articular surface of tibia (tibial plateau).
