ABSTRACT: Objective: This study was aimed to determine anthropometric measurements of knee
joint among healthy Mongolian population and identify FML (Femur Medial
Lateral), TML (Tibia Media Lateral), PML (Patella Medial Lateral), PAP (Patella
Anterior Posterior), FAP (Femur Anterior Posterior) and TAP (Tibia Anterior
Posterior). Methods: This cross-sectional study included 100
participants. We measured femoral, tibial and patellar dimensions using X-ray. Result: A total of 100 participants (44
male, 56 female participants) enrolled in this study. Age was ranged 20 - 59 and
average age was 38 ± 9. Average FAP was 70.6 ± 1.22 mm in
male and 66.9 ± 3.93 mm in female. Average TML in male was 85.6 ± 1.27 mm and 79.1
± 0.8 mm in female. Average TAP was 60.1 ± 4.87 mm in
male and 55.7 ± 4.96 in female. Average PAP was 22.5 ± 2.83 mm in
male and 23.8 ± 2.43 mm in female. Average PML was 50.2 ± 1.45 mm in
male and 46.8 ± 4.09 mm in female. Knee anthropometric measurements were statistically different
in gender (P Conclusion: Participants average FML was
statistically lower than Asian and European people and FAP was statistically
higher than them.
