Abstract :
Abstract Morphometric properties of a bone structure enable the researchers to calculate all measures of a bone using a piece of it. The present study aims to evaluate all bone measures from the remains of talus bone. In our study, 40 talus bones existing in Cumhuriyet University, Faculty of Medicine, Anatomy Department Laboratory and belonging to Anatolian Geography (20 right–20 left) were evaluated. 10 measures of talus bone were evaluated and the differences between right and left were determined. Talar width (Tw) and head–neck length (Hnl) measures of left taluses are significantly higher than the right taluses (P<0.05). While right Tw is mean 40.7mm, left Tw is mean 43.3mm. The present study in which morphometric measures of talus bone, one of the durable bones of human body, are evaluated shall contribute to anatomic literature, anthropologic studies and forensic science.
