Аннотация:An investigation of the talocrural joint was performed in 160 normal adults, 80 males and 80 females. The joint space was measured on films at six locations, three in the antero-posterior and three in the lateral view of the ankle. The average joint space in men was 3.4 mm and in women 2.9 mm, which is a significant difference (p less than 0.001). The joint space was wider in the medial part when evaluating the antero-posterior view, but did not change with age.
