Quantitative analysis of sagittal curvatures of the tibial plafond by computed tomography.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although the talar morphology has been well understood, studies on the corresponding tibial plafond are still lacking. Based on computed tomography (CT) data, this quantitative study divided the tibial plafond into anterior and posterior regions on five sagittal sections. The objectives of this study were (I) to determine whether the sagittal curvatures of the tibial plafond can be quantitatively and accurately described using the double-diameter method; (II) to compare the difference between the anterior and posterior diameters on five sagittal sections.

Methods

In this study, CT data were collected from 100 adult ankles, and the three-dimensional (3D) ankle joint model was reconstructed using CT images. An anatomical coordinate system of the 3D ankle joint model
