Measurements of proximal tibial morphology taken from a lateral stifle radiograph. Before measurement, the radiograph was evaluated for appropriate technique and position. A. The most anterior point of the tibial tuberosity. B. The cross point of a circle on line AC where the center is at the most posterior point of the tibial plateau (C) and also crosses the most anterior point of the tibial plateau (D). C. The most posterior point of the tibial plateau. D. The most anterior point of the tibial plateau. E. A reference line extending from the center of the intercondylar eminence proximally to the center of the tarsus distally. F. The cross point of line E and the tibial slope line (DC). Tibial plateau angle (TPA) was measured as the obtuse angle at EFC - 90°. Relative tibial tuberosity width (rTTW) was measured as the width of the tibial tuberosity divided by the width of the proximal tibia not including the tibial tuberosity (AB/BC)
