Dr Arban Kumar, Dr Simriti, Dr Sunanda Raina

Abstract :

Tibial Tuberosity is the truncated apex of a triangular area and lies at the proximal end of the anterior border of tibia, where the anterior condylar surfaces merge. It is an apophysis and develops in traction. The present study was designed on dry human tibia, with the aims and objectives to study morphometric study of tibial tuberosity. It can be stated that both upper smooth as well as lower rough part of tibial tuberosity are marginally longer on right side in North Indian. . The most prominent point on the tibial tuberosity from anterior border of intercondylar area is of significant importance to the orthopaedcians, radiologists, rehabilitation specialists and sports medicine specialists
