This study was conducted to determine the tibio-femoral angle in healthy Korear. children ranging from newborn to 10 years of age, and to deermine the intergonal distance of Korean children ranging from newborn to 5 years of age.
This series includes 220 children(109 males and 111 females) for measurement/ef the tibiofemoral angle and 318 children (167 males and 151 females) for the intergonal distance from the pediatric any or*.hope3ic Qlinics of Our Lady of Mercy Hospital and Catholic Medical College Hospitals.
In the roentgeaographic examination of the tibio-femoral angle, the extremity ;ias pcsitioned with the patella straight forward. The tibio-femoral angle was measured on the roentgenogram by drawing axial lines midway between the both cortices of the femoral and tibial diaphyses. The angle made by the two longitudinal lines was measured in degrees. if there was torsion or bowing of the tibia, a longitudinal axis was estimated between the patella and the midportion of the ankle joint. If the femur was not straight, as was usually the case in nen-born infants, the femoral line drawn represented our best estimate of the longitudinal axis of the femur. If there was a difference between the angles in both legs, their average was chosen as the representative figure.
The intergonal distance was measured directly on the body of the examinee with the feet approximated each other and the knees fully extended.
The results obtained were as follows;
1. The tibio-femoral angles (meanstandard error)
2. The intergonal distances
3. There was no difference in the tibio-femoral angle and in the intergonal distance by sex.
