Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
The calcaneus is a weight bearing tarsal bone of the proximal raw. It also forms the posterior pillar of the two longitudinal arches of the foot. Normally there are three facets for synovial joints between calcaneus and talus, namely anterior, middle and posterior. There is considerable variation in the number and arrangement of these facets. This study assums significance for science of anatomy, treatment and diagnostic procedures in orthopedic surgery. In this study 120 adult dry human calcanei of unknown sex and age were collected from Department of Anatomy, Rims, Imphal, Manipur. The types of facets on the superior aspect of the calcanei and anteroposterior length was observed and measured using a digital vernier calliper. A total of 120 (Right- 60, Left- 60) specimens were examined. These calcanei were classified according to Nagar SK into type A, B, C, D and E depending on the type of articular facets on the superior surface of the calcanei. The percentage incidence of Type A on the Right as 30%, Left as 25%; Type B Right as 70% and on Left as 75%. There are no calcanei belonging to type C, D and E. Total A-P length of calcanei of both side ranged from 6 to 10cm. In the present study, type B was found commonest, followed by type A.
