A Study of morphometry of articular surface of talus

Yashaswini Shetty, Dr Zia Ul Haq

Abstract :

Background:

This weight beå quality of the talus makes it susceptible to wear and tear and so the measurements that we might get in study may actually help the orthopaedics surgeon in reconstruction. Study in India on this topic is very limited and we use a lot of morphometric values from the western world. What we should understand is the fact that Indians are anthropologically different and it is time to study our own morphometric values, so that the values can be used by the orthopaedic surgeons and ultimately the patients get benefitted by this.

Very few attempts have been put sincerely to study the morphometry of talus. The sheer strain put on it by the weight of the adult is tremendous and so the structure to be studied is very interesting.
