Abstract
Aim: While numerous geographic locations have been examined in the literature regarding the morphological characteristics of ankle bones, no studies have been conducted specifically in Turkey. Our study aims to assess the morphological features of ankle bones in individuals residing in Turkey, utilizing ankle computed tomography (CT) images obtained from patients.
Material and Methods: In our single-centre study, the data between 2018 and 2022 were scanned. The criteria for inclusion in the study were determined as being a citizen of the Republic of Turkey, being over the age of 18, and being under the age of 65.
Results: 200 patients (100 men, 100 women) and 200 ankle CT images were selected by stratified sampling using the computer-assisted randomisation method. APA, APG, MalW, MDA, MDV, MTiTh, SRTa, SRTi, TaAL, TaW, TiAL, Th, and TiW values were measured on computed tomography images.
Conclusions: The morphological structure of the ankle bone varies from society to society and according to gender. These factors should be considered in implant design (especially in prosthetic design) and the application of these implants. Our study will guide the design of ankle implants (especially prostheses) for communities living in Turkey.
