Anatomical Variations of Gerdy’s Tubercle: The Distal Attachment Site of the Iliotibial Tract

Background: Morphometric evaluation of Gerdy’s tubercle located on upper end tibia has very significant role in orthopedics for the treatment and surgeries total knee replacement. A triangular facet known as is lateral tibial condyle. Aim: To analyze evaluate variations size, shape, prominence localization dry human bones. Study Design: Cross sectional morphological study Place Duration Study: Department Anatomy, Akhtar Saeed Medical & Dental College Lahore from 1st July 2022 to 31st December 2022. Methodology: record this research work, 50 bones were obtained. Morphologically shape bony was noted. Vernier caliper ruler used measure diameter tubercle. Results: The calculated mean irrespective side 12.5±2.85mm. This noted 60% oval 30% irregular 10%. surface observed be rough 20%, smooth 80% For tubercle, distance measured between tuberosity It 54.5±6 mm all Conclusion: present provides morphometrical bones, furnishing an anatomical correlation these information with orthopedic radiological manifestations.
