Morphometric Study on the Dimensions of Upper End of Tibia in Wayanad Population
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Anatomy - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Arthritis and injuries of a knee joint is a common problem encountered during the old age which requires total knee replacements and Unicompartmental kn ee arthroplasty. Morphometric parameters of condyles of the tibia can be useful for the treatment and monitor the outcome of these surgeries by selecting specific knee prosthesis for that particular population. Aims: To measure the various parameters of the proximal end of the tibia in Wayanad population. Methods: In the present study, sixty-eight (30-right and 38-left) adult fully ossified tibia were taken and various parameters of the upper end of the tibia were measured using Vernier caliper. Statistical analysis of this data was done using SPSS software version 16. Results: The present study was done on both left and right tibia. The following data was obtained. On Left side: Mean ±SD of circumference -18.59±1.7cm, Surface area of medial condyle-13.23±2.53cm2, Surface area of lateral condyle- 12.19±2.56cm2 and Intercondylar surface area- 4.93±1.16 cm2. On Right side: Mean ±SD of circumference-18.5± 1.3cm, Surface area of medial condyle-12.85±2.44 cm2, Surface area of lateral condyle-12.06±2.46cm2 and Intercondylar surface area-5.06±0.81cm2 . Conclusion: Knowledge about the dimensions of the upper end of the tibia will be helpful for anatomists, anthropologists, and Orthopedicians in cases of knee arthroplasty procedures, Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, and meniscal transplantation.
