An anatomical and morphological analysis of ligaments of talocrural joint and its articular surfaces
Keywords:
morphometry, anatomy, talocrural, ankle, joint, ligamentsAbstract
Background: Talocrural joint is one of the most important joint that has evolved significantly. The entire weight of the body is taken up by these joints and that’s why it had to evolve on an enormous scale. This study puts in a sincere effort to understand the anatomical and morphological aspect of the ligaments and its articular surfaces. Aims and Objectives: To study the anatomy and morphometry of a. Tibiotalar and fibulotalar articulations. b. Ligaments of the talocrural joint. Materials and Methods: Thirty formalin fixed human ankles were dissected which was available in the Department of Anatomy, which included nineteen male and eleven female specimen. Male and female ankles were categorized and also right from the left. Results: The morphometric analysis, squatting facets analysis and the radiological analysis has been done and reported. Conclusion: The results provide conclusive evidence that the difference is there in some aspects when compared to that of the other study.
