<p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="Default" style="text-align:justify;line-height:200%"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:bold;mso-bidi-font-style:italic">Background:</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:bold"> </span>Total knee arthroplasty has become the standard treatment for various disabling disorders of the knee and has proven long term success. In total knee replacement, the shape of the knee prosthesis is very important because many complications may arise from a mismatch between the prostheses and the bones. <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:&#10;bold">The present study was conducted to </span>measure, tabulate and analyze various parameters of the condylar plateau of proximal end of tibia in Rajasthan population and also to compare the data with the previous studies done in different Indian populations and other ethnic groups by various researchers. Methods: For this study, 500 human adult dry tibia bones (250 of right and 250 of left) of unknown age and sex were collected from the population of Rajasthan (India). Results:<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>On comparing the two condyles, it was seen that mean antero-posterior diameter was greater in medial condyle and mean transverse diameter was greater in lateral condyle on both sides. Conclusion: The present study shows that there are striking variations in knee morphology between the Asian and Western population.<o:p></o:p></p>
