*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 is slightly longer because of the included knee joint.</ref>
 
Also take at least a quick look at all the projected skeleton for any other apparent deformities.
