ABSTRACT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Introduction<\/strong>: Talus, the tarsal bone of the foot, and scaphoid, the carpal bone of the hand, are homologous. Further, talus is unique in the sense that it has no muscular or tendinous attachments. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether sex or race related morphometric differences in the various measurements of trochlear articular surface of talus could be demonstrated or not.<\/p>\n

Material and Methods<\/strong>: Present study was done on 221 dry adult human talus. Various measurements of trochlear articular surface of talus included in the study are length, breadth and height of trochlea of talus as well as trochlear index and arch index of trochlea of talus.<\/p>\n

Results<\/strong>: Findings of all measurements of trochlear articular surface of talus in male are more as compared to those of female in the Gujarati population of present study.<\/p>\n

Discussion<\/strong>: Findings of various measurements of trochlear articular surface of talus in Gujarati population of present study were compared with the findings of other researchers who studied the same measurements in the different populations.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong>: Length, breadth and height of trochlea of talus as well as arch index of trochlea of talus are useful for the sexual dimorphism of talus in the Gujarati population of present study. \u00a0Length and breadth of trochlea of talus as well as trochlear index of talus are population specific and can be useful to aid in the identification of individuals of unknown race.<\/p>\n

Key words<\/strong>: Trochlear articular surface of talus, Sexual dimorphism, Racial differences, Gujarati population.<\/p>\n
