A Study of Tibiofemoral angle among Healthy Female Maharashtrian Population
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 5
Abstract
Objective: Inspite of being clinically important, literature is scanty about Tibiofemoral (TF) angle, in Indian population and most reports are on other populations. This angle is important for correction of varus or valgus deformities by osteotomies in clinical orthopedic surgery, so present study is an attempt to formulate a baseline data of Tibiofemoral angle among healthy Maharashtrian females with reasonable accuracy, so that later on it can be compared In different regions of India. Materials and Method: The current study determines the normal range of laterally opening Tibiofemoral (TF) angle among healthy Maharashtrian females. Study was conducted over 200 healthy female subjects, aged 20- 50 years representing various regions of Maharashtra, a state of India, by using calibrated metallic goniometer with adjustable arms under standard conditions. Result & Conclusion: The normal range of the TF angle in females is 167°- 174°. The mean TF angle in females is 170.84° with standard deviation (SD) of 1.52°.
