Zusammenfassung:Introduction:Morphometric parameters of upper end of tibia can be used to guide treatment and monitor outcome of total knee replacement surgeries. By doing so the muscle, tendon and ligament makes a rigid contact and upon continuous pull and subsequent erosion on the point of contact on bone determines the shape, size and texture of any facet or tubercle. Based on the osteotomy of Gerdy's tubercle of the tibial bone and ilio-tibial band a novel technique has been used which permits excellent visualization and fixation of lateral intra-articular coronal fractures of the tibial condyle 17. The study furnishes morphological and morphometrical information on South Indian tibial bones with respect to Gerdy's tubercle, providing an anatomical baseline to correlate anatomical findings with radiological and surgical presentations especially during knee replacement surgeries.
