A STUDY ON MORPHOMETRY OF ARTICULAR CARTILAGE OF TIBIOFIBULAR MORTISE
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 7
Abstract
Talocrural joint is a major weight bearing joint of the body. The objective of the study is to find the mean measurements of the articular cartilage of the tibiofibular mortise in south Indian population, differences between the sides and variations within the same population and comparison of the study with that of the others. The present study was done in the Department of Anatomy, K. S. Hegde Medical Academy Mangalore using 11 specimen. All the measurements were taken using Digital Calipers. There were no significant differences between the right and the left side. There were no significant differences within the population. Articular cartilage was wider in front and narrows posteriorly. Its thickness was more in the periphery and less in the centre. The study will help in the reconstruction surgeries and in the manufacture of implants in south Indians.
