: Knee deformities can be reliably assessed by using morphometric parameters of upper end of tibia. Total knee arthroplasties are done to treat many types of arthritis and injuries involving knee joint. So, there is a need to have data of various morphometric parameters of upper end of tibia in order to have better surgical outcomes. The present study was attempted to provide values of different parameters in the population of Bihar.: The present study was a cross-sectional and prospective study conducted on 50 tibia of unknown gender and age in the Department of Anatomy, Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Patna. Fully ossified, dried, macerated and thoroughly cleaned tibia were taken to measure different parameters of upper end with the help of digital vernier calliper. The data thus obtained were tabulated and analysed statistically using Microsoft excel software.: It was found that the diameters of medial condyle were more than the lateral condyle. The antero-posterior diameter was more than the transverse diameter in case of both the condyles. But the difference between the right and the left side was not statistically significant.: The present study will help in providing a baseline data for designing of the prosthesis used in total knee replacement surgeries. It will also be helpful to anthropologists and forensic experts.

SUMMARY: Total and unicompartmental joints replacements have become the main standard for the treatment of degenerative disorders and osteoarthritis of the knee. In total knee arthroplasty less than half an inch (9 mm) of the tibial and femoral articular surfaces are removed from the ends of bones and replace the metal and plastic prosthesis. There by the dimensions of each condyle are requisite for designing prosthesis required for knee arthroplasty. Fifty (25 right & 25 left) adult fully ossied dry tibias were taken from the Department of Anatomy and morphometric measurements of medial and lateral condyle were taken by using a Vernier caliper. Statistical analysis of the parameters was done. Present study, the mean anteroposterior, the transverse diameter of medial and lateral condyles of tibia were 45.71±3.17, 29.75±2.95, and 39.71±3.09, 30.24±2.45 mm respectively. The mean mediolateral length of total tibia and the mean circumference of the upper tibia were 69.35±5.08 and 191.49±14.85 mm respectively. The results of this study will be helpful for anatomists, anthropologists, and orthopedics in cases of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, complete knee arthroplasty procedures, and meniscal transplantation.

Introduction: The tibia bone forms the main skeleton of the leg. It plays an important role in weight bearing and takes part in the formation of knee joint. The knowledge of different dimensions of upper end of tibia will help the orthopaedic surgeons for diagnosis, planning and treatment of disease related to knee. Inappropriate design of knee replacement could affect the outcome of surgery with reported complications. The objective of the study is to find out the morphometric measurements of upper end of tibia in Nepalese Population. Methods: After ethical approval (MEMG/IRC/211/GA) the study was done on 60 dry tibia bones of Nepalese citizens irrespective of sex and race in the Department of Anatomy, Manipal College of Medical Sciences, Pokhara. The morphometric measurements of medial condyle, lateral condyle, intercondylar area and circumference of upper end of tibia of both sides were measured manually by thread, scale and Vernier calliper. Data were reported as mean ± SD and analyzed with MS Excel 2007 software. Results: Average anteroposterior measurements were found to be 46.38 mm and 39.14 mm and average transverse measurements were 28.79 mm and 27.86 mm respectively for medial and lateral condyles of both sides. The anteroposterior and transverse measurements of intercondylar area of tibia were 47.75 mm and 7.11 mm on the right side and 49.81 mm and 7.25 mm respectively on the left side (p<0.05). Similarly mediolateral length and circumference of upper end of tibia of left limb were significantly greater than the right limb (p<0.05).  Conclusion: The knowledge of different dimensions of upper end of tibia may be important in anthropological practice. Morp hometric parameters of upper end of tibia will be important to orthopaedic surgeons for diagnosis, planning and treatment of disease related to knee in Nepalese population.

Background: Total knee arthroplasty is the most cost effective and rapidly evolving technique. The success of procedure relies on appropriate sizing of tibial component, for which elaborate information of various dimensions of upper surface of tibia is mandatory. Hence, this study is aiming to generate baseline data on antero-posterior and transverse measurements of medial and lateral condyles and intercondylar area of upper surface of tibia. Methods: The study was conducted in 42 dry human cadaveric tibia with unidentified age and sex, in the Department of Anatomy, College of Medical Sciences and Teaching Hospital, Chitwan. The antero-posterior and transverse measurements of medial and lateral condyles and intercondylar area of tibia were recorded in millimeter (mm) with digital Vernier calipers. The data was analysed using SPSS version 16.0. Results: The antero-posterior and transverse measurements of medial condyle of tibia were 43.00±5.95 mm and 25.21±8.08 mm respectively on the right side and 45.33±5.36 mm and 27.43±8.57 mm respectively on the left side and that of lateral condyle were 37.94±5.64 mm and 25.21±8.71 mm respectively on the right side and 41.03±3.65 mm and 27.06±8.83 mm respectively on the left side. The antero-posterior and transverse measurements of intercondylar area of tibia were 47.49±6.31 mm and 15.71±3.93 mm respectively on the right side and 49.24±6.91 mm and 15.02±3.88 mm respectively on the left side. The variation in the measurements between right and left tibia showed significant difference only for antero-posterior measurement of lateral condyle (p<0.05). Conclusions: The study generates baseline data regarding various anthropometric measurements of upper surface of tibia, which will assist the orthopedic surgeon to create a resected bony surface identical to the tibial component of an implant in unilateral and total knee arthroplasty.

BACKGROUND Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) have evolved into a pandemic world-wide including India because of burgeoning population and adoption of unhealthy lifestyles often aping the west. Early identification of increasing trends in the rise of risk factors (RFs) of NCDs in all populations is of utmost importance. The present study aims to track the trends of certain RFs of NCDs in medical students. METHODS All the 141 students who had completed 3 years of medical college were included. 8 of them who were absent during study period were excluded. Base line data concerning the medical students was taken in the month of December 2016. Their anthropometric measurements like height, weight, waist circumference, waist-hipratio, and blood pressure were noted as per standard guidelines. The changes in the trends of hypertension, general obesity, and central obesity were analysed. RESULTS Out of the total 141 study subjects 93 (66 %) were female 48 (34 %) were male medical students. The mean age of students was 20.94 years with SD of 0.80. 64 (45.4 %), 62 (44 %) and 13 (9.2 %) students were aware of positive family history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus and obesity respectively. None of them were in the habit of smoking, drinking alcohol or tried narcotics. Undernourished students reduced from 28 (19.9 %) to 16 (11.3 %). Physical exercise among students increased significantly. General obesity (BMI ≥ 25 Kg / mt2 ), central / abdominal obesity represented by waist circumstance and blood pressure were observed to have increased significantly. The combined obesity in the present study was 15.6 %. CONCLUSIONS Tracking of weight gain, blood pressure, physical activity in medical students was done after three years from the base line data collected in 2016. It was observed that certain risk factors of NCDs like obesity, hypertension, waist circumference, showed significant upward trends. Medical students should undergo periodic health check–ups (screening) to identify the emergence of RFs of NCDs in their nascent stage and transform themselves as role models in the community by maintaining and advocating healthy lifestyles.
