Objective The aim of this study was to compare approximations to the tibial distal anatomical axis (DAA) with regression lines for the symmetric axis of the tibia, and to identify an optimal approximation for surgical planning of osteotomies for the management of canine cruciate ligament deficiency. Study Design Prospective radiographic study of 20 canine tibiae. Using curve-fitting and the symmetric axis technique, the true anatomical axis was identified for each tibia. Regression lines were calculated for the distal 67% and distal 50% subsections of this axis. Angular deviations between these lines and DAA approximations were calculated and compared with to find the closest approximations. Results The DAA approximations based on the distal 50% rather than the distal 67% of the tibia had smaller maximal deviations from the true axis. Landmarks at 50% and 75% of tibial length exhibited greater deviations than those at 50% and 95% or 100%. Conclusion The DAA landmarks should be restricted to the distal half of the tibia. Use of a distal landmark either just proximal to the distal metaphyseal flare of the tibia or at the mid-point of the distal articular surface is to be preferred. In this way, the DAA will better reflect the true anatomical axis of the distal tibia.

Background Recommended techniques for transtibial drilling in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction are based on strategies to prevent graft impingement and preserve tibial tunnel length. The limitations of this drilling technique may restrict the ability to centralize tunnels in the anterior cruciate ligament footprints. Hypothesis A transtibial drilling starting point to centralize the tibial and femoral tunnels in their respective footprints can be identified, but it will result in a short tibial tunnel. Study Design Descriptive laboratory study. Methods The femoral and tibial attachments of the anterior cruciate ligament were characterized in 12 fresh-frozen cadaveric knees. Knees were secured in 70° and 90° of flexion. A guide pin was drilled antegrade through the central femoral and proximal anterior cruciate ligament attachment sites through the central tibial anterior cruciate ligament attachment site to exit on the anterior tibia. Results In 90° of flexion using the central femoral and tibial attachment sites, the exit point of the pin on the anterior tibia was 14.1 mm from the tibial joint line and 20.9 mm anterior to the superficial medial collateral ligament. The length of the pin in the tibia was 30.6 mm. Extending the knee to 70° or directing the pin through the proximal femoral anterior cruciate ligament attachment moved the starting point less than 4 mm from this point. Conclusion The transtibial technique can produce tunnels centered in the anterior cruciate ligament footprints, but a starting point close to the tibial joint line is required. This will result in a relatively short tibial tunnel. Clinical Relevance If tunnels centered in the anterior cruciate ligament attachment sites are desired with the transtibial drilling technique, then a short tibial tunnel is necessary. A short tibial tunnel may compromise graft fixation and graft incorporation, or it may result in a tunnel length—graft length mismatch. An alternative drilling strategy might be employed.

Introduction: Estimation of stature is an important step in identification of an individual, which often is required in medio-legal practice. It provides a valuable indicator for unknown individual in a population. Through the remains of human skeletal or body parts stature of an individual can be estimated.
Methods and Materials: Percutaneous tibial length (PCTL) is measured in present study to estimate the stature by formulating simple regression equation. The PCTL was measured by the surface anatomical landmarks that is between most prominent part of medial condyle of tibia and tip of medial malleolus.
Result: Positive correlation was found between the length of tibia and estimated height. A linear regression formula was derived for estimation of height from the length of right and left tibia.
Conclusion: Estimated height and observed height were closely related within the range of error. Differences in length of right and left tibia showed statistically non-significant.

SummaryObjectives: To evaluate morphological parameters of the femur, tibia, and patella in Toy Poodles with medial patellar luxation (MPL) using three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) and to compare these parameters between radiography and CT.Methods: Thirty-five hindlimbs of Toy Poodles were divided into normal and grade 2 and 4 MPL groups. The anatomical and mechanical lateral proximal femoral angle, anatomical and mechanical lateral distal femoral angle (aLDFA, mLDFA), femoral varus angle (FVA), inclination of the femoral head angle, procurvation angle, anteversion angle (AA), frontal angle of the femoral neck, mechanical medial proximal or distal tibial angle, mechanical cranial proximal or distal tibial angle, tibial plateau angle, tibial torsion angle (TTA), Z angle, relative tibial tuberosity width, ratio of the medial distance of tibial tuberosity to the proximal tibial width (MDTT/PTW), patella size, and the patellar ligament length: patellar length (L:P) ratio were evaluated on radiography and 3D CT.Results: The aLDFA, mLDFA, FVA, and TTA were significantly larger and the AA, MDTT/ PTW, and patella were significantly smaller in the grade 4 MPL group. There were significant differences in many parameters between imaging tools, and CT was considered less susceptible to potential artefacts and rotational deformities.Clinical significance: Toy Poodles with grade 4 MPL had significant femoral varus deformity, medial displacement of the tibial tuberosity, internal torsion of the proximal tibia, and hypoplasia of the patella.

BACKGROUND: The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is crucial to restrain the posterior translation of the tibia. Its anatomical structure is complex. A proper understanding of PCL anatomy may assist surgeon in reconstructing anatomically native PCL.
AIM: To describe the anatomical numerical measurement of the PCL in Vietnamese adults.
METHODS: Twenty-one fresh cadaveric knees were examined. The macroscopic details of the intra-articular PCL, the attachment of the anterolateral bundle (ALB), posteromedial bundles (PMB) to the femur and tibia were analysed. We used a digital camera to photograph the cadaveric specimens and used the ImageJ software to analyse the collected images.
RESULTS: The ALB and PMB length were 35.5 ± 2.78 and 32.6 ± 2.28 mm, respectively. The smallest and the biggest diameter of middle third of the PCL were 5.9 ± 0.71 and 10.0 ± 1.39 mm, respectively. The area of cross section of middle third of the PCL was 53.6 ± 12.37 mm2. The femoral insertion area of ALB and PMB were 88.4 ± 16.89 and 43.5 ± 8.83 mm2, respectively. The distance from the central point of femoral ALB, PMB, and total PCL insertion to the Blumensaat line were 5.5 ± 0.91, 11.5 ± 1.98, and 7.6 ± 1.42 mm, respectively. The shortest distance from medial femoral cartilage rim to the central point of femoral ALB, PMB, and total PCL insertion were 7.0 ± 0.79, 7.3 ± 0.95, and 7.8 ± 1.73 mm, respectively. The tibial insertion area of ALB and PMB were 84.5 ± 12.52 and 47.8 ± 6.20 mm2 respectively. The shortest distance from the posterior cartilage corner of the medial tibial plateau to the central point of ALB, PMB, and total PCL insertion to tibia were 8.5 ± 1.02, 9.4 ± 1.11, and 8.3 ± 1.1 mm, respectively. The central point of tibial PCL insertion was 9.7±1.08 mm below cartilage plane of the medial tibial plateau.
CONCLUSION: This study describes the detailed anatomical measurement of the PCL and its bundles in adults.

Full textAbstract:
Radiologic evaluation of the tibial nutrient artery is clinically important as disruption of tibial blood supply is a risk factor for delayed or non-union of tibial fractures. Damage to the tibial nutrient artery canal (TNAC) may occur by a traversing fracture or iatrogenic cause in the context of pin/screw placement. Furthermore, TNAC could be misdiagnosed as a stress fracture. The aim of this study was to characterize the normal anatomy of TNAC and to delineate its gender and side-specific differences. Patients who underwent contrast-enhanced computed-tomography encompassing the pelvis and lower extremities were included. TNAC was identified with an external and internal foramen and a traversing intercortical canal. Various anatomical morphometrics were evaluated: total number of nutrient canals, angular position of the outer and inner nutrient foramina, absolute and relative position of the nutrient foramina, as well as the intercortical canal length with respect to tibial length. The majority of patients of both genders had only one tibial nutrient canal, multiple canals or complete absence were rare. In most cases, the outer nutrient foramen was found on the posterolateral aspect of the upper-third of tibia at about 32% of tibial length; the inner foramen was found at the middle third of the tibia (41% of tibial length). The course of nutrient canal was mostly cranio-caudal with a small, but significant difference in relative canal length: 8.5% vs. 10% of tibial length for females and males, respectively. The angular location of the outer and inner foramen was between 20–30° and did not reveal a statistically significant difference between genders. No statistically significant side specific differences were found for all analyzed parameters and both genders. The clinical relevance of this anatomical study pertains to establishing “safe corridors” of pin/screw insertion in the context of surgical management of tibial fractures in order to avoid iatrogenic disruption of tibial blood supply.

Purpose: Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia is a rare disease that is particularly difficult to treat; the most difficult complications include nonunion of the tibia, refracture, and failed surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of transposing gastrocnemius flaps for the treatment of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia. Methods: Nine patients (aged 6.2 ± 3.6 years) diagnosed with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia in our hospital between March 2013 and March 2018 were enrolled. The tibial pseudarthrosis and thickened periosteum were completely removed, and intramedullary nails were used to fix the tibia. Bone harvest from the iliac, mixed with allogenic bone, was filled in the gap created by excision of the pseudarthrosis site and the surrounding periosteum; the gastrocnemius flap was then used to wrap the pseudoarthrosis site. The plaster cast was fixed postoperatively. The tibial union was evaluated via radiograph, and the plaster cast was removed after 12–24 weeks. Patients began walking approximately 12–14 weeks postoperatively. Results: Anatomical reduction was achieved in all the patients; the mean bone healing time was 10.1 ± 2.1 months. Bone nonunion was observed in one patient, and no neurovascular injury or wound infection occurred. Limb length discrepancy was in the range 3.2 ± 1.8 cm at 1 year and 4.7 ± 2.7 cm at 2 years after surgery. Two patients underwent replacement of the intramedullary nail, and eight patients exhibited good functional and radiographic outcomes. Conclusion: This preliminary study proved that using the gastrocnemius muscle flap to cover the pseudarthrosis site was an effective method to promote the tibial union and treat congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia.

This study was aimed at investigating the age related changes in the morphometry and biometry of some selected bones of the hind limb of Nigerian local dog ( canis lupus familiaris ). In this study a total of fifteen dogs were used as sample and were grouped into five age categories (group A-E). The dogs were aged by estimation using dentition eruption and wearing. The segment of the hind limb was identified and separated from the rest from other parts. The gross study of the hind limb revealed that the hind limb was composed of: ossa coxarum, femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsal and metatarsal bones. The biometric study revealed that the weight, length, width and circumference were found to be increasing with advancement in age. The result revealed that mean weight, length and circumference of various segments of the ossa coxarum, femur and the tibia tends to increase with age across the group that is from group A to group E. However, there is variation in the length of the fibula, width of the obturator foramen and length of the obturator foramen. Base on the above results, it was concluded that base line data was established with the aim of enhancing learning.

Full textAbstract:
Transtibial amputation (TTA) patients face ongoing morphological changes in their residual limb. The residuum volume changes due to weight gain or loss, diurnal edema, and muscle atrophy. Consequently, the TTA prosthetic-user is fitted with a new prosthetic socket approximately every four years. Despite new innovations in socket and liner materials and design, contemporary prosthetics are not yet equipped to confront these changes. The TTA residual limb is therefore subjected to high superficial and internal stresses which may cause injury. Appending the hazardous condition of natural volume change of the residuum is the initial geometrical state of the truncated bones. The primary surgical considerations in TTA are the tibial length, the bevelment of the distal end of the tibia and the location of the surgical scar. These risk factors may significantly affect the well being of the TTA residuum. Previous studies assumed that the criteria for a well-fitted socket were low interface stresses. However, while interface stress measurements may help prevent superficial skin damage, knowledge of the internal stress distribution can prevent the formation of deep tissue injury (DTI) [1]. While superficial pressure ulcers are visually detected, DTI is concealed under the skin and spreads to its surroundings in the soft tissues of the residuum. If this latent wound is ignored, the skin will rupture to reveal a massive injury to skin, fat and muscle tissues, clinically termed as a type IV pressure ulcer. Our purpose was to evaluate the effect of the following risk factors on the internal mechanical condition of the TTA residuum: shorter tibial lengths (thicker muscle flap tissue), milder tibial end bevelments, different mechanical properties of the muscle flap (simulating both variance between patients or flaccid versus contracted muscle) and superficial scarring in inferior and anterior locations on the skin.

Current total knee replacements solve the problem of arthritic knee joints, but the evidence is that normal patterns of knee motions are not restored (1) In addition; paradoxical anterior sliding of the femur on the tibia can occur in the first half of the flexion range (2). Achieving natural motion is likely to be important for daily activities which involve higher angles of flexion, in terms of restoring normal soft tissue lengths and patello-femoral mechanics. Studies have shown the damaging effects of anterior femoral slide on the tibia affecting both the patella and the patellar tendon (3). Our paper examines new knee replacement designs which incorporate geometrical features to regain anatomical knee motion.

This paper presents a new equivalent spatial mechanism for the passive motion simulation at the human ankle complex joint. The mechanism is based on the geometry of the main anatomical structures of the ankle complex, such as the shape of the talus and tibio/fibula bones at their interface, and the TiCal and CaFil ligament lengths. In particular, three sphere-to-sphere contact points at the interface have been identified and isometric fibers of both TiCal and CaFil ligaments have been considered to devise the equivalent mechanism. The proposed mechanism is a fully-parallel mechanism of type 5-5 with one degree of freedom. A procedure for the optimal synthesis of the mechanism is given. Simulation results compared with experimental data show the efficiency of the proposed mechanism to replicate the ankle passive motion, and also to reflect at the same time the main anatomical structures of the ankle joint. The new mechanism is believed to be a useful tool for both pre-operation planning and prosthesis design.
