Tibial torsion among filipinos: a cadaveric study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
ABSTRACT Tibial torsion, the twisting of the tibia about its long axis, can affect rotational positioning in total knee replacement. This angle varies depending on the ethnicity of the subject. There are no published studies to date to determine the tibial torsion among Filipinos. In this study, 28 cadaveric limbs were examined. Our results show that the average tibial torsion among adult Filipinos is 28.9°. KEY WORDS Tibial torsion, Filipinos, cadaveric.

Comparison of Q Angle and Tibial Torsion Among Premier League Futsal Players With and Without Hamstring Tightness
Purpose: Hamstring muscle is a two-jointed muscle, which is attached to the pelvis at one end and to tibia at the other. Contractures of the hamstring muscles affect the position of proximal and distal joints. The present study aims to compare the value of quadriceps angle (‘Q angle’) and tibial torsion among Premier League Futsal players with and without hamstring tightness. ...
متن کاملTibial torsion calculated by computerised tomography and compared to other methods of measurement.
A new method for the measurement of tibial torsion using computerised transverse tomography is presented. Its accuracy is equal to that of cadaveric skeletal measurement. This method may be used in patients with unilateral post-traumatic torsional deformities, especially when these are combined with genu varum or valgum. The study of torsional aberrations in connection with congenital abnormali...
متن کاملA comparison of four in vivo methods of measuring tibial torsion.
Tibial torsion, twisting of the tibia about its longitudinal axis, varies during development and early childhood. Knowledge of the normal range of tibial torsion at various ages and its accurate clinical measurement is important in the assessment of the extent of a torsional deformity. To evaluate tibial torsion a reliable technique for its measurement in vivo is therefore required. The aim of ...
متن کاملVariations in sagittal locations of anterior cruciate ligament tibial footprints and their association with radiographic landmarks: a human cadaveric study
BACKGROUND This cadaveric study aimed to demonstrate variation of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tibial attachment in the sagittal plane, and to analyze the radiographic landmarks which predict the sagittal location of the ACL tibial attachment. METHODS In 20 cadaveric knees, native ACLs were removed and the centers of the ACL tibial and femoral attachments were marked with metal pins. ...
متن کاملDoes the Surgical Correction of Tibial Torsion with Genu Varum Produce Outcomes Similar to Those in Varus Correction Alone?
The aim of this article is to study the relationship between tibia vara and external tibial torsion in adults. The following questions were asked: (1) what is the incidence of rotational deformity in patients with genu varum and (2) do patients who undergo correction of tibial torsion with genu varum have similar outcomes to those who undergo simple tibia vara correction? In this study, 69 pati...
