| Abstract |
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. |
