TI  - Radiographic Examination of Talocrural Joint Morphometry in Individuals with Normal Joint Anatomy
AB  - Aim: The traumas of the talocrural joint are very common in population.Therefore; the anatomy and morphometry of this joint has agreat importance. The aim of this study was to examine the morphometryof talocrural joint in large series of patients according toage and sex in order to add some new knowledge to the literature.At the same time, according to the results of the research, it isaimed to give a way for field-specific prosthesis production to theprosthetic producers.Material and Method: In this study; the talocrural joint radiographsof 274 anatomically normal patients (134 males, 140 females)were examined. The morphometric measurements of thedefined parameters were done and their statistical analysis wereperformed according to age and sex. As far as we know, from ourparameters; the mediolateral diameter of tibia (TML), the mediolateraldiameter of fibula (FML), surface area of trochlea tali (TTA)and SIGMA angles were firstly defined in this study. Additionally;the innermost distance of talocrural joint (ATI), the outermost distanceof talocrural joint (ATD), the angles in between the medialmalleolus and talus (DELTA), the lateral malleolus and talus (ALFA)and the sagittal length of trochlea tali (TSU) were also measured.Results: In the comparison of TML, FML, TTA, ATI, ATD measurementsand ALFA angle in both sexes; they were found to be higherin males than in females. However; TSU and SIFGMA angle werefound to be higher in females, when compared with males. TheDELTA angle was nearly the same in both sexes.Conclusion: These morphometric analyses were performed in ahuge number of anatomically normal patients’ radiographs andtherefore; we believe that the study will add a new knowledge tothe literature, will help to the clinicians who are interested in theankle joint and will be useful for the companies who are workingon implant technology.
