Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula01:10

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula

14.4K
The tibia is the main weight-bearing bone of the lower leg. It is larger than the fibula with which it is paired. The tibia is also the second longest bone in the body and is located right below the skin. The proximal end of the tibia forms the medial and the lateral condyle, which articulates with the condyles of the femur to form the knee joint. Between the articulating surfaces is the irregular elevated area known as the intercondylar eminence that serves as the inferior attachment point for...

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella

8.0K
The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus01:19

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

11.1K
The upper limb consists of the arm, forearm, wrist, and hand bones. The humerus is the single bone of the upper arm region. Proximally, it has a large, spherical, smooth head that articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula to form the glenohumeral or shoulder joint. The margin of the head is the anatomical neck, a residual epiphyseal plate. Laterally it extends to form bony projections called the greater tubercle and the lesser tubercle. Next to the tubercles is the surgical neck, a...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Human Anatomy
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Morphometric analysis of the proximal tibia is essential for accurate knee replacement surgery.
  • Establishing baseline data for the Indian population is vital for surgical planning and outcomes.
  • Understanding tibial morphology aids in assessing and correcting knee deformities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine morphometric parameters of the tibial condylar and intercondylar surfaces in the Indian population.
  • To compile baseline data for future orthopedic studies and surgical applications.
  • To compare findings with existing literature for enhanced surgical utility.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 50 male and 50 female adult human tibiae were analyzed.
  • Digital Vernier calipers were used for precise morphometric measurements of condyles and intercondylar areas.
  • Statistical analysis included Student's t-test with a significance level of p < 0.05.

Main Results:

  • Statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) were observed in measurements between sexes and sides.
  • Anteroposterior dimensions exceeded transverse dimensions for both medial and lateral condyles.
  • The medial condyle exhibited greater anteroposterior and transverse measurements than the lateral condyle in both sexes.

Conclusions:

  • This study provides essential baseline morphometric data for the upper tibia in the Indian population.
  • Findings are particularly relevant for unicompartmental and total knee arthroplasty in this demographic.
  • The data supports advancements in orthopedic reconstructive surgical procedures.
