  • Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between trochlear medial facet osteophyte (TMFO) and elbow flexion in the elbow joints without trauma history. Materials and Methods: Twenty five patients, who underwent computed tomography without elbow trauma history, were reviewed. Patients were checked for osteophyte or loose bodies in the coronoid and olecranon sides. The height and length of TMFO were measured. Results: The average elbow flexion contracture was $18.6^{\circ}$, and further flexion was $112.1^{\circ}$. The TMFO height and length was 2.2 mm and 4.7 mm, respectively. The average elbow further flexion was $105.1^{\circ}$ in the coronoid block group (n=14) and $119.1^{\circ}$ (p=0.011) in the coronoid free group (n=11). The relationship between further elbow flexion and TMFO was significant with a partial correlation coefficient of 0.687(p<0.000) in the TMFO length. Conclusion: Elbow joints with longer TMFO length decrease further flexion.

  • Purpose: To investigate the measured values of the talus in Koreans. Materials and Methods: We measured 88 tali from 44 cadavers that have been donated between December 2012 and December 2015. Of the cadavers, 27 were male and 17 were female. Their mean age was 73 years. The length and width of the talus were measured using a digital goniometer and vernier caliper. Results: The values of cadaveric measurement, mean maximal width and length, width and length of the dome anterior, width and length of the posterior facet, height and length of the trochlear medial facet, and height and length of the trochlear lateral facet were $43.6{\pm}2.6mm$, $56.5{\pm}3.3mm$, $32.5{\pm}2.0mm$, $42.2{\pm}2.7mm$, $22.2{\pm}2.2mm$, $34.7{\pm}2.0mm$, $15.3{\pm}1.3mm$, $33.3{\pm}2.9mm$, $25.3{\pm}3.3mm$, and $30.8{\pm}2.4mm$ for men and $38.9{\pm}1.6mm$, $53.6{\pm}2.4mm$, $27.9{\pm}2.1mm$, $37.4{\pm}3.2mm$, $20.6{\pm}0.8mm$, $31.9{\pm}1.2mm$, $13.6{\pm}2.6mm$, $28.4{\pm}2.5mm$, $24.9{\pm}2.1mm$, and $28.9{\pm}1.4mm$ for women, respectively. The size of the talus showed an accuracy of 86% when anteroposterior diameter was greater than 59 mm. A difference in the size of the right and left talus was not observed. The mean inclination and declination angles were $24.4^{\circ}{\pm}4.2^{\circ}$ and $28.2^{\circ}{\pm}5.4^{\circ}$ for men, and $24.6^{\circ}{\pm}3.6^{\circ}$ and $24.7^{\circ}{\pm}6.7^{\circ}$ for women (p=0.980, p=0.018), respectively, at least $15^{\circ}$, which showed a big difference for every object up to $37^{\circ}$. Conclusion: This paper, to the best of our knowledge, is the first study to measure the talus in Koreans. There were differences by gender and ethnicity in the in measured talus values. The measurements were smaller than European-Americans and greater than Japanese.
