Abstract

An appreciation of the normal variation of the Talar Tilt angle under stress roentgenogram on the ankle joint may throw some light on the diagnosis and treatment in an ankle joint injuries. The purpose of this study is to show the normal range of the Talar Tilt angleof the ankle joint under various circumstances and has been to compare the results of each angle. The author have undertaken the neutral ankle mortise view and inversion and eversion stress roentgenogram in all ankles and measured its Talar Tilt angle. The data were based on study of free chosen 50 normal Korean adult male 25 and female 25 respectively. The results were summerized as follows; 1. Talar Tilt angle was O degree in neutral ankle mortise view. 2. In inversion stress roentgenogram, Talar Tilt angle ranged from 0 to 15 degrees, 97% of cases were less than 10 degrees. 3. In eversion stress roentgenogram, Talar Tilt angle ranged from 0 to 7 degrees. 4. In inversion stress roentgenoram, the difference between right and left of same male and female ranged from 0 to 7 degrees. 5. It is very important to check accurately Talar Tilt angle under the same method and same conditions.
