ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Anatomic configuration of the ankle joint is useful information during various ankle procedures. This study was prospectively designed to investigate the sagittal inclination pattern of the ankle joint. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Lateral standing ankle radiographs from one-hundred people (age 17~68, MF=4555) and magnetic resonance (MR) sagittal ankle images from twenty-four people (age 16~65, MF=1410) were studied. Post-traumatic, arthritic, or grossly deformed ankles at any reason were excluded. The posterior inclination angle (PIA) of the distal tibia was measured and compared between the lateral and the medial segment.RESULTS:
On plain radiographic data, the average PIA of the distal tibia was 6.14 degrees +/-3.56 degrees (range 0 degree to 14 degrees) in the lateral segment and 13.16 degrees +/- 3.05 degrees (range 6 degrees to 22 degrees) in the medial segment. On MR imaging data, the average PIA of the distal tibia was 5.08 degrees +/- 4.26 degrees (range 1 degree to 10 degrees) in the lateral segment and 10.16 degrees +/- 4.87 degrees(range 5 degrees to 17 degrees) in the medial segment. The PIA between two segments was significantly different.CONCLUSION:
The sagittal configuration of the medial area ankle joint and the lateral area ankle joint has difference in the degree of posterior inclination and shape of curvature.
