Anthropomorphic Characterization of Ankle Joint.

ABSTRACT: Even though total ankle replacement has emerged as an alternative treatment to arthrodesis, the long-term clinical results are unsatisfactory. Proper design of the ankle device is required to achieve successful arthroplasty results. Therefore, a quantitative knowledge of the ankle joint is necessary. In this pilot study, imaging data of 22 subjects (with both females and males and across three age groups) was used to measure the morphological parameters of the ankle joint. A total of 40 measurements were collected by creating sections in the sagittal and coronal planes for the tibia and talus. Statistical analyses were performed to compare genders, age groups, and image acquisition techniques used to generate 3D models. About 13 measurements derived for parameters (TiAL, SRTi, TaAL, SRTa,
