## Abstract The contact areas between the articular surfaces of the talus and tibia are essential for understanding the mobility of the ankle joint. The purpose of our study was to reveal the contact area among the superior articular surface of the trochlea tali (target surface __T__) and the infer
## Abstract In this study we determined the effects of misalignment of the talar neck on the contact characteristics of the subtalar joint. Each of seven fresh cadaver lower extremities was mounted in a loading jig and a vertical load was applied, 90% of which was directed through the tibia and 10%
