In the knee, it usually refers to the slope of the femur\u2013tibia contact line in the coronal (front) view. Clinicians use it as a measurement concept in imaging, alignment assessment, and surgical planning. It commonly comes up in knee osteoarthritis, limb deformity evaluation, osteotomy planning, and total knee replacement discussions."}
