Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Purpose: Pre- and postoperative tibial posterior slope angles (PSAs) were assessed in patients who underwent cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Material and methods: A total of 386 cruciate retaining TKA were performed in 308 patients and retrospectively reviewed. Based on the prostheses, 202 cases using NexGen® were classified as group I, 120 cases using PFC sigma® as group II, and 64 cases using Vanguard® as group III. Postoperative PSA of groups I, II, and III were compared. Results: In groups I, II, and III, postoperative PSA was 6.0°, 6.0°, and 4.5°, respectively (p < 0.001). Between preoperative measurement and final follow-up examination, mean knee score (59.7 to 97.3), function score (54.2 to 90.5), and range of motion (ROM; 126.7° to 132.2°) improved. These three values did not differ significantly among groups. Conclusions: The 3° slope of the Vanguard® polyethylene insert caused the difference in PSAs. This design characteristic should be considered when using this implant in TKA. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
