MORPHOMETRIC STUDY OF PROXIMAL END OF TIBIA WITH ITS CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS IN NORTH INDIAN POPULATION
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 23
Abstract
BACKGROUND The knee joint is a complex synovial joint as the surfaces of tibia and femur are not conforming, so the proper interaction between articular surfaces is essential. Hence, the knowledge regarding the morphometry of articular surfaces of tibia is important. Therefore, we aimed our study to measure the dimensions of the upper end of tibia to contribute and guide for designing tibial prosthesis in Indian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 224 dry tibias were studied in the Department of Anatomy at a medical college in north India, out of which 105 tibias were of right side and 119 were of left side. The measurements: antero-posterior (AP) and transverse diameter (TD) of medial (MTC), lateral (LTC) and total tibial condyles (TTC) were taken by digital vernier calipers and were analysed. RESULTS We found that the mean AP and TD diameters of MTC are more than the AP and TD diameter of LTC. The measurements of MTC on both sides were significantly greater than LTC. The measurements of MTC and LTC on both sides were significantly greater in males (p < 0.05). In the TTC the AP diameter was more in females on both sides, while the TD was again more in males. The area of MTC and LTC was more in males as compared to females on both sides (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Data obtained from the present study will provide a baseline data pertaining to morphometric details of upper end of tibia with reference to unicompartmental and total knee arthroplasty in Indian population.
