MORPHOLOGICAL STUDY ON PATTERNS OF TALAR ARTICULAR FACETS OF HUMAN CALCANEI
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Clinical Research - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Aim and Objectives: To measure, calculate, find out variations and finally compare the pattern of talar articular facets of different human calcanei. Materials and Methods: 50 adult human calcanei were obtained irrespective of age and sex and evaluated one by one. Three types of calcaneus that has distinct talar facets as Types A, B and C and sub types were defined. Results: The study reveals the following results; Out of 50 calcanei 13 were of Type A (26%) 37 were of Type B (74%) and None were of Type C. The mean intersecting angle of Type A calcaneum is 121.50 and The mean intersecting angle of Type B calcaneum is 151.60 Conclusion: This study reveals that the talar facet configuration of calcanei and angle between the anterior and middle facet influences the stability of the subtalar joint.
