| description | Introduction: The present study aims to assess different
morphometric parameters of condylar and intercondylar
surface of tibia and to compile the results, analyze and
formulate a baseline data for future studies with relevance
to Indian population and also to compare the current data
with accessible literature for pertinent surgical utilities.
Morphometric parameters of upper end of tibia can be used to
guide treatment and monitor outcome of total knee replacement
surgeries. Information regarding morphometry of upper end of
the tibia is vital as it provides reliable method of assessing knee
deformity.
Materials and Methods: The study group comprised of 50 male
and 50 female adult human tibiae. Morphometric measurements
of medial condyle, lateral condyle and intercondylar area of
tibiae were meticulously recorded with digital Vernier calipers
with a least count of 0.01 mm. Student’s t-test was used with
significant level of p-value < 0.05 and 95% confidence interval.
Results: All measurements were found to be statistically
significant when compared between the two sexes on both
sides (p-value<0.05). Anteroposterior measurements were
found to be greater than transverse measurements for both
medial and lateral condyles. Furthermore, both anteroposterior
and transverse measurements were greater in medial condyle
than in lateral condyle on both sides and sexes.
Conclusion: The present study is an endeavor to provide
a base line data pertaining to morphometric details of upper
end of tibia with reference to unicompartmental and total knee
arthroplasty in Indian population. The results of the study assume
special importance in view of the technical advancements in
reconstructive surgical procedures in orthopedic practice. |
