Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 5
Abstract
Anthropometry is a precise method for evaluation of different measurements of dried bones and has been used as a technique to bring out regional and racial differences all over the world. Being an important anatomic unit, different morphological studies have been undertaken on the tibia. A cross-sectional study with 83 human tibia bones was carried out for one month to estimate different morphometric parameters of tibia in Bankura district of West Bengal and to compare between the parameters of right and left sided tibia. Data were collected by anthropometry using requisite instruments and predesigned proforma. Collected data were summarized to compute six parameters of tibia bone. Unpaired 't’ test was used for analyses of data. The estimated values (mean±SD) of Cross- Section Index, Cnemicus Index, and Length- Thickness Index of right and left tibia were found to be 80.85± vs 76.17±, 80.43± vs 75.59± and 30.05± vs 29.71±, respectively. CrossSection Index and Cnemicus Index were found to be significantly different across the side. K
