Dr Shalinder Sharma, Dr Simriti, Dr Arban
Abstract :
Medial Malleolus is short and thick having smooth lateral surface with a crescentric facet articulating with the medial talar surface. Shape of lateral articular surface of medial malleolus was found to be crescent shaped in all cases of the present study and when compared between the two sides, the values were slightly more towards left side. Medial malleolus along with deltoid ligament provides medial stability to ankle joint and is one of the common structure to get fractured in lower limb. The morphometric study will help orthopaedic surgeons and implant manufacturers to plan the fixation devices for this small but very important part of the ankle
