Abstract
An investigation of the talocrural joint was performed in 160 normal adults, 80 males and 80 females. The joint space was measured on films at 6 locations, 3 in the antero-posterior and 3 in the lateral view of the ankle. The average joint space in men was 3.4 mm and in women 2.9 mm, which is a significant difference (P < 0.001). The joint space was wider in the medial part when evaluating the antero-posterior view, but did not change with age.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
