Abstract

Introduction: Despite the clinical importance of Tibiofemoral (TF) angle, literature is scanty in Indian population and most reports are on other populations. In clinical orthopedic surgery, for correction of varus or valgus deformity by osteotomy, this angle is important, so present study is an attempt to formulate a baseline data of tibiofemoral angle among healthy Maharashtrian male population with reasonable accuracy. Materials and Method: The current study determines the normal range of laterally opening Tibiofemoral (TF) angle among healthy Maharashtrian male population. Study was conducted over 200 healthy male subjects, aged 20-50 years representing various regions of Maharashtra state of India, by using calibrated metallic goniometer with adjustable arms under standard conditions. Result and Conclusion: The normal range of the TF angle in males is 168- 179. The mean TF angle in males is 173.40 with standard deviation (SD) of 1.78
