Abstract

 Introduction: The present study aims to assess different morphometric parameters of condylar and intercondylar surface of tibia and to compile the results, analyze and formulate a baseline data for future studies with relevance to North-East Karnataka population. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) are frequently done procedures for the treatment of various forms of arthritis and knee injuries. The knee prosthesis, which is used for these procedures, requires adequate sizing specific to the population. Hence the aim of the present study is to measure various parameters of the proximal end of the tibia in North east Karnataka population in Bidar district. Materials and Method: Sixty (32 Right and 28 Left) adult fully ossified tibia bone were taken and various parameters of the proximal end of tibia were measured using a vernier caliper. Statistical analysis of the parameter was done.Comparision between various parameters of right and left side was done using paired‘t’ test. Result: In our study the mean transverse, the antereposterior diameter of total, medial and lateral candyles of tibia are 6.29, 4.16, 2.66, 4.08, 2.80, 3.35 cm. The area of medial, lateral and total tibial condyle is 10.86, 9.50 and 26.30 cm. The mean length between the upper end of tibia and tibia tuberosity and the mean circumference of the upper end of tibia is 2.16 and 19.11cm. Groove for ligamentum patellae is found in 100% of cases. Conclusion: The result of these study will be helpful for anatomist, anthropologist, to Orthopedition in cases of UKA, TKA procedures and meniscal transplantation. This study is also helpful to prepare prosthesis of accurate size related to Bidar district population.
