Purpose: The aim of this study is to reveal the morphometry of the distal tibia and posterior malleolus and to generate morphometric reference data for the tibial component of total ankle prosthesis. Methods: This study was performed on 121 human dry tibiae (47 right, 74 left). The morphometric measurements of distal tibial structures, tibial length and the distance between the medial and posterior malleolus were measured in this study. Measurements on 44 tibiae were repeated three times and averaged for minimizing intra-observer error. Results: The tibial length was found 34.19 ± 2.31 cm. Mean values of width of fibular notch at tibial plafond and 10 mm proximal to the tibial plafond were 25.71 ± 2.44 mm and 17.81 ± 2.46 mm, respectively. Mean depth of fibular notch at tibial plafond and 10 mm proximal to the tibial plafond were 3.60 ± 1.04 mm and 3.37 ± 1.24 mm, respectively. Mean height of fibular notch was found 48.21 ± 10.51 mm. Mean width and height of medial malleolus were 25.08 ± 2.13 mm and 14.73 ± 1.85 mm, respectively. Mean width and length of tibial plafond were 27.71 ± 2.74 mm and 26.96 ± 2.62 mm, respectively. Mean values of width and height of posterior malleolus were measured 21.41 ± 3.26 mm and 6.74 ± 1.56 mm, respectively. Mean distance between medial and posterior malleolus was found 37.17 ± 3.53 mm. Mean width and depth of malleolar groove were 10.26 ± 1.84 mm and 1.73 ± 0.75 mm, respectively. The mean intra-class correlation values were found between the 0.959 and 0.999. Conclusions: Knowing the distal tibial morphometry is crucial for designing convenient ankle replacement implants for Turkish population. To our knowledge, this study is the first in the literature that identifies posterior malleolar morphometry on dry tibiae. We believe that this study will make a significant contribution to the literature about distal tibial morphometry and especially the posterior malleolus and the data of our study can be used for designing total ankle prosthesis in Turkish population.
