Anatomic Axis

---

- Discussion:
      - anatomic axis of femur is approx 6 deg of valgus from mechanical axis or
            9 deg of valgus from vertical axis w/ variations according to body habitus;
      - anatomic axis of tibia is in approx 2-3 deg of varus from mechanical axis;
      - lines that intersect the tibia and the femur intersect at knee;
              - this angle averages 6 deg;
