A total of 120 subjects (58 males and 62 females) ranging in age from 9 to 20 years were tested for AJC ROM using a specifically designed 6 degrees of freedom fixture. All measurements were made with respect to a laboratory coordinate system, and represented assessment of active AJC ROM. Angular displacements for plantarflexion, dorsiflexion, inversion, eversion, abduction, and adduction were digitally recorded and compared. AJC ROMs of females aged 9 to 20 years were generally greater than those for males about all three orthogonal axes. Within each gender, there was a consistent trend for AJC ROM to decrease from a maximum at 14 to 16 or 17 to 20 years to a minimum after age 60 years. The average decrement was greater for females than for males. This study provided evidence to support the contention that age-related and gender differences in AJC ROM do exist.

The communication was from the fourth to the third web space common digital nerve (i.e., from the lateral to the medial plantar nerve) in 11 specimens. A reverse communication, from the third to the fourth web space common digital nerve (i.e., from the medial to the lateral plantar nerve), was present in eight specimens. Neuromas were identified in the second web space in 26 specimens and in the third web space in 32 feet. The common digital nerve to the third web space was not thicker in feet with a contribution from the fourth to the third web space nerve. Additionally, the incidence of third web space neuroma in feet with this type of communication was not significantly greater than in those feet without an internervous communication. However, the intermetatarsal head distances and the ratios of the intermetatarsal head distance to the digital nerve diameter in web spaces 2 and 3 were significantly smaller in comparison to spaces 1 and 4 (P < .05).
