Abstract
Background
The study was to establish a novel classification of the morphological characteristics of fibula anterior-inferior margin (FAIM), which was reported in few studies.
Methods
The 501 images with three-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT) reconstruction were reviewed retrospectively. The width, height, thickness, long axis, short axis, and lateral malleolus angle were measured.
Results
The FAIM was divided into Angular, Flat, and Arc. The Flat has no distinct fibular obscure tubercles (FOT). The short axis of Angular and Arc were more significant than the Flat (P < 0. 05). The height of left was larger than the right, but short axis was less than it (P < 0.05). The height and short axis of males were larger than the females (P < 0.05).
Conclusions
A novel classification (the Angular, Flat and Arc) of FAIM was identified based on lateral malleolus morphology, and it suggested that not all have obvious FOT.
期刊介绍：
Foot and Ankle Surgery is essential reading for everyone interested in the foot and ankle and its disorders. The approach is broad and includes all aspects of the subject from basic science to clinical management. Problems of both children and adults are included, as is trauma and chronic disease. Foot and Ankle Surgery is the official journal of European Foot and Ankle Society.
The aims of this journal are to promote the art and science of ankle and foot surgery, to publish peer-reviewed research articles, to provide regular reviews by acknowledged experts on common problems, and to provide a forum for discussion with letters to the Editors. Reviews of books are also published. Papers are invited for possible publication in Foot and Ankle Surgery on the understanding that the material has not been published elsewhere or accepted for publication in another journal and does not infringe prior copyright.
