Demographics and distal tibial dimensions of suitable distal tibial allografts for glenoid reconstruction
Arthroscopy Sep 19, 2019
Parada SA, Griffith MS, Shaw KA, et al. - A retrospective review of MRI of ankles without bony trauma was done in order to assess whether features such as age, height, weight, gender, or BMI influenced the distal tibial dimensions and radius of curvature (ROC) of a potential donor for anterior glenoid augmentation. A total of 141 imaging studies were involved. All likely specimens sustained a harvest of a 10 × 22–mm distal tibial allograft bone block. Men had larger anteroposterior (AP) and medial-lateral (ML) dimensions. Important moderately positive associations were discovered for AP dimensions with height and weight and for ML dimensions with height and weight. ROC was positively related to height and weight. Individual age was not correlated to either the AP or ML distal tibial dimensions or ROC. Therefore, following MRI analysis, all potential donors permitted harvest of a standard-sized distal tibial allograft despite gender or general anthropometric measures, and 85.8% exhibited distal tibial morphology acceptable for glenoid augmentation. AP and ML graft dimensions and ROC associated notably with height and weight.
