ABSTRACT: Talocrural joint is major weight bearing joint of the body, since human is the only known obligate bipedals. Therefore the body weight is transmitted to the ground through the two lower limbs. So some great features have been evolved in humans to keep the body upright. The lower end of the tibia with its medial malleolus and lateral malleolus of fibula form a deep recess to accommodate the body of talus. Study is done using 30 Tibias (15 right side and 15 Left side) and 30 fibulas (15 right side and 15 Left side). Measurements were similar on both sides. The study was found to be in agreement with that of the other studies.
