In lateral knee, which femoral condyle is more distal and larger?

medial

In AP knee, which margin of the lateral tibial plateau is more proximal?

anterior, because the tibial plateau slopes inferiorly A to P

Which articular facet of the patella has a more shallow angle relative to the coronal plane?

lateral (lateral condyle of femur is also smaller)

Which articular facet of the patella has a steeper angle relative to the coronal plane?

medial (medial condyle of the femur is also bigger)
