Screw fixation is a commonly effective surgery in treating a fracture of the talus. It has been reported that morphology of the talus is important for preoperative evaluation and intraoperative. These include length, width, height and type of lateral tubercle of the posterior process of talus in order to reduce the complications after screw fixation. Such talar basic data has never been documented in Northeastern Thai. The aim of this study was to investigate the morphometry of dry tali collected at Khon Kaen University. The 1,106 tali from 553 skeletons (301 males and 252 females, averaged age 62.32 ± 14.62 years) were used to measure the height, width, and length and classify the types of the lateral tubercle of posterior process of talus. The results showed that the length, height, and width of the talus observed in Northeastern Thai in the left male were 57.30 ± 3.57, 40.22 ± 2.64, and 31.39 ± 1.92 mm., respectively. In the right male were 57.48 ± 3.22, 40.48 ± 2.33, and 31.60 ± 2.02 mm., respectively. In the left female were 52.93 ± 4.01, 37.56 ± 3.20, and 29.27 ± 2.23 mm., respectively. And the right female were 51.73 ± 3.02, 36.33 ± 2.55, and 28.51 ± 1.76 mm., respectively. When compared the parameters between the sexes, there were significant differences in both sides and comparing the left and right talus parameters of both genders, it was found that there was no statistical significance, indicating that the width and height of the talus of Northeast Thai people were not different between the left and right sides. In addition, the type of lateral tubercle of the posterior process of talus found that type I lateral tubercle of the posterior process of talus was 1.35%, type 2 was found was 45.47%, type3 was found in 53.16% respectively. |
