Bone morphology is one feature that contributes to knee kinematics. The geometry of the tibia and femur vary across individuals, and these differences can influence the risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and of failure after isolated ACL reconstruction. There has been renewed interest in lateral extra-articular stabilization procedures to supplement an ACL reconstruction, although which patients benefit most from these procedures remains unclear. This article reviews the impact of bone morphology on knee kinematics, including tibial slope, depth of the medial tibial plateau, intercondylar notch shape, tibial eminence volume, and sphericity of the femoral condyles.
