*Femur length: The superior aspect of the femoral head to the distal portion of the medial femoral condyle.
*Tibial length: The medial tibial plateau to the tibial plafond.
*Combined: The superior aspect of the femoral head to the tibial plafond.<ref name="combined" group="notes">Alternatively, it could be calculated as the sum of the femur length and the tibial length, but this omits the knee joint distance. Nevertheless, the measuring method does not need to be mentioned in the report, because in the rare occurrence that anyone needs to know what method was used, they can mathematically conclude whether the combined length is the sum of the femur and the tibia, or whether it also includes is slightly longer because of the included knee joint.</ref>
