The development of tibiofibular torsion.

We studied the angle of torsion of the leg in both lower limbs of 1607 schoolchildren of both sexes (1010 girls and 597 boys) aged between 3 and 17 years. Statistical differences were observed between one lower limb and the other in girls at the ages of 3, 8, 9, 10, 12, and 13 years but in boys no differences were observed. No statistical differences were found between the angle of torsion from one age to the next, except between the angles of 11 years and 12 years old boys. The torsional angle varies from approximately 5 degrees at 3 years to 17 degrees at 17 years, with a slight, inconsistent increase in both sexes.

Foot morphology development with age.

We studied the podogram from both feet in 1676 school-children of both sexes (663 boys and 1013 girls), aged between 3 and 17 a using 3 footprint measures (footprint angle: Clarke [1933]; footprint index of Chippaux [1947] and Smirak [1960]; arch index [Staheli et al. 1987]) and found clear differences according to age. Our findings showed a tendency in both sexes in early childhood to present a low internal arch until the age of 5 and 6a.

[Behavior of adiposity indices in relation to body weight and height between the ages of 3 and 17 years].

We studied the coefficients of correlation between weight and height and four adiposity indices (weight/height 0,5; weight/height; weight/height2; weight/height3), year to year, in 1676 schoolchildren of both sexes (663 boys and 1,013 girls), aged between 3 and 17 years. Weight-for-height index should be uncorrelated with height and highly correlated with weight. In our study, Quetelet index (w/h2) in females and Rohrer index (w/h3) in males, are independent from height. Between two indices, Quetelet index had better correlations with weight.

Talar articular facets (facies articulares talares) in human calcanei.

The variations of the talar articular facets in 176 calcanei were studied and classified. Three types were considered: type A = calcanei with two articular facets for the talar head, with four subtypes; type B = calcanei with one articular facet for the talar head, and two subtypes, and type C = unique articular facies in the superior surface of the calcaneus for the talus. We found 53% (94 cases) type B calcanei and 46% (82 cases) type A calcanei. No calcanei of type C were seen.

[Biometry of the tibia].

This study investigates the relations between 67 tibia parameters. For this investigation, 30 human tibia of unknown sex and age were examined from the bone collection of the Department of Anatomy of the University of Alcalá de Henares (Madrid). Many tibia parameter relationship were established, which were correlated through statistical analysis. 3 groups of parameters correlations were established: antero-posterior diameters of the diaphysis; perimeters of the diaphysis and width of the proximal extremity of the bone. The authors present the statistical values of all the measurements, which are of great anthropological interest.

A study of the nutrient foramina in human long bones.

The present study analyzed the location and number of the diaphysial nutrient foramina in six long bones of adult human skeletons of unknown age and sex from a statistical view point. The diaphysial nutrient foramina in the humerus, are located at between 50 and 65% of the total length; in the radius and ulna, at between 25 and 50%; in the femur, at between 25 and 58%; in the tibia, at between 30 and 40%; and in the fibula at between 35 and 67%, i.e. the middle third of the bone. Also studied were the anatomical position and number of the diaphysial nutrient foramina in each bone.
