Femoral-tibial angle "genu valgum" or "genu varum", the femoral-tibial angle is about 175 degrees. Femoral-tibial angle The femoral-tibial angle is the angle between the femur and tibia. In humans, the two femurs converge medially toward the knees, where they articulate with the proximal ends of the tibiae. The angle of convergence of the femora is a major factor in determining the femoral-tibial angle. In human females the femora converge more than in males because the pelvic bone is wider in females. In the condition "genu valgum" (knock knee) the femurs converge so much that the knees touch one another. The opposite extreme
Type 90 Kyū-maru procurement plan was established in the 1980s while Japan was experiencing asset price bubble. After the asset price bubble burst in 1991 and the collapse of Soviet Union in 1992, Japan started to cut its defence budget. In order to save budget for Kongo Class missile destroyers and other new weapons, Japan made a plan to reduce the size of its tank force. The production of Type 90 therefore slowed down and part of its budget was shifted to the research and development of the new Type 10 main battle tank. Being 12 tonnes heavier than its predecessor Type 74
