Resumen

Background: Calcaneum is the largest and longest tarsal bone in the foot and forms the prominence of the heel. Objective: The aim of the study was to observe the variations in the morphology and morphometry of the talar articular facets on the superior surface of human calcanei in South-Eastern Nigeria. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out on 220 adult non-pathological dry calcanei of unknown sex from bone banks of various medical colleges in South-Eastern Nigeria. Each calcaneum was examined for various patterns of articulating facets. Results: Pattern 1 was 55.4% of the studied population, Pattern II 7.7%, Pattern III 12.7% and Pattern IV 24%. The oval shape was 52.86% and 64.39% in the anterior and middle talar articular facets respectively, oval and convex was 70% in the posterior facet and the elongated shape was 63.12% in the fused anterior and middle facet with elongated oval 27.87% in subtype 2 and elongated constricted 35.25% in subtype 1. The length of the calcanei was recorded at a mean±SD of 7.10±0.70cm (left side) and 7.01±0.72cm (right side). The width was 2.77±0.38cm (left side) and 2.77±0.37cm (right side). The distance between the anterior and middle facets was 0.50±0.15cm (left side) and 0.48±0.15cm (right side); the posterior and middle facets at 0.59±0.20cm (left side) and 0.56±0.17cm (right side) and that between the anterior and posterior facets at 1.43±0.27cm (left side) and 1.42±0.29cm (right side). Conclusion: A good knowledge of the calcaneal facet pattern and shape may be useful in forensic medicine.

 

Antecedentes: El calcáneo es el hueso tarsiano más largo y más largo del pie y forma la prominencia del talón. El tercio medio de la superficie superior del calcáneo proporciona una faceta articular para el hueso del talud. Objetivo: El estudio busca observar las variaciones en la morfología y morfometría de las facetas articulares del talar en la superficie superior de huesos calcánicos secos de humanos adultos en la población noreste de Sudeste. Material y métodos: El estudio se llevó a cabo en 220 calcanei secos no patológicos adultos de sexo desconocido de bancos de huesos de varios colegios médicos en el sureste de Nigeria. Resultados: El patrón 1 fue el más frecuente en el presente estudio (55,4%). La forma ovalada era común en las facetas articulares anterior y media del talar (52,86% y 64,39%), oval y convexa en la faceta posterior (70%) y la forma alargada era común entre las facetas fusionada anterior y media (63,12% ) Con ovalo alargado común en el subtipo 2 (27,87%) y constreñido alargado común en el subtipo 1 (35,25%). La longitud del calcáneo se registró con una media ± DP de 7,10 ± 0,70 cm (lado izquierdo) y 7,01 ± 0,72 cm (lado derecho) y la anchura se registró a 2,77 ± 0,38 cm (lado izquierdo) y 2,77 ± 0,37 Cm (lado derecho). La distancia entre las facetas anterior y media fue de media ± DP de 0,50 ± 0,15cm (lado izquierdo) y 0,48 ± 0,15cm (lado derecho), las facetas Posterior y Media a 0,59 ± 0,20cm (lado izquierdo) y 0,56 ± 0,17cm (Lado derecho) y entre las facetas anterior y posterior a 1,43 ± 0,27 cm (lado izquierdo) y 1,42 ± 0,29 cm (lado derecho). Conclusión: Un buen conocimiento del patrón y forma de la faceta del calcáneo ayudaría a mejores opciones de tratamiento y manejo de las fracturas del calcáneo. También requiere una modificación de las técnicas quirúrgicas occidentales para adaptarse al escenario nigeriano para la osteotomía calcánea.
