Morphometric analysis reveals a strong correlation between femoral condyle radius of curvature and anterior-posterior length in knees, highlighting parameters for allograft matching.
The radius of curvature (ROC) of the femoral condyle is a factor in potential cartilage incongruities following osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation. Accurate restoration of the chondral surface may be achievable by using "best-fit" donor-recipient matching based on linear femorotibial dimensions, such as the femoral condyle anterior-posterior length (APL), femoral condyle width (lateral-medial length, LML), femoral hemicondyle width (HCW), and tibial plateau width (TPW), particularly if they correlate well with the ROC. This study aimed to investigate the correlative relationship between femorotibial dimensions and the ROC.
