Abstract
Total knee replacement (TKR) is a surgical procedure in which an artificial joint or prosthesis replaces a damaged knee joint. The aim of total knee replacement is pain relief and restoration of knee function and mobility. Morphometric evaluation based on MRI provides a more comprehensive evaluation of both osseous and soft tissue structures. Thus the aim of the study was to determine the morphometric measures of knee joint in Indian adults. This study was conducted among the healthy individuals of RMCH Bareilly. The knee joint data included 59 males and 59 females’ knees. This study was conducted for approximately one year after the approval from Central Research Committee. A 1.5 TESLA MRI unit (Avanto Magnetomtim + dot system, Siemens, Erlangen, Germany) was utilized for imaging. The parameter of proximal tibia and distal femur were taken. There was a significant mean differences in all Morphometric parameters observed between males and females (P<0.01). Mean values were significantly less in females as compared to males. Mean TML in males was 7.56±0.37 and in females it was 6.49±0.28. Mean TMAP was in males was 4.84±0.33 while in females it was 4.13±0.31.
