Abstract
The lower end of tibia along with its medial malleolus and the lateral malleolus of the fibula form a deep recess to accommodate the body of talus. Measurements of distal end of tibia will help in surgical reconstruction as well as in the design of prosthesis of talocrural joint and percutaneous plate fixation of fractures of the distal tibia. To study the morphometry of distal end of dry adult Tibia. One Hundred Fifty (150) dry adult Tibia (76 left and 74 right) obtained from the Department of Anatomy were studied with help of vernier caliper. The mean height of medial malleolus of tibia on the left side was 15.87±1.42 mm and on the right side was 15.81±1.55 mm. The mean anteroposterior length of medial malleolus of tibia on the left side was 23.95±2.00 mm and on the right side was 23.01±1.88 mm. The study provides a comprehensive data about the morphometry of distal end of dry adult Tibia which will help in reconstruction surgeries of the ankle joint.
