An anatomical study on types of calcaneal facets on talus and co relation between squatting facets and angles of neck
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anatomy and Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction Talus is a short compact bone with muscular attachments Its head and body are oriented in specific manner Thus it is subjected to modifications due to change of direction of forces by adapting different postures Here we present an anatomical study on types of calcaneal articular facet and squatting facet with emphasis on anatomical corelation of squatting facet with different angles at the neck of TalusMaterials and Methods Total 125 dry tali right64 and left61 were studied with no anomalies or pathology We observed types of calcaneal articular facet on tali squatting facet angle of deviation AD angle of inclination AI were measured Statistical evaluation of the measured indices was doneResult and Conclusion Type II articular facet was the most common type of articular facet on calcaneal surface of tali 2nd most common being Type I Squatting facet was observed on 44 of tali on right side while 375 tali on left side Average AD and AI were 26 and 125 respectively We found significantly high AI on right sided tali than left sided No significant corelation was observed between the AD and presence or absence of squatting facet but in those tali where squatting facet was present angle of inclination was significantly larger We conclude that incidence of calcaneal articular facet and modification on neck of talus squatting facet with high AI are attributed to differences in race habitual activities posture gait and level of plane used for locomotion by Indian populationKeywords Tali Squatting facet Neck of tali Articular facet
