Anatomical study of type classification and surface area of attachment sites for tibialis anterior tendon

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to clarify the attachment types of the tibialis anterior tendon (TAT) in Japanese fixed cadavers and to determine the attachment site area in three dimensions. METHODS: We examined 100 feet from 50 Japanese cadavers. The TAT was classified according to diffe...

Sumario:BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to clarify the attachment types of the tibialis anterior tendon (TAT) in Japanese fixed cadavers and to determine the attachment site area in three dimensions. METHODS: We examined 100 feet from 50 Japanese cadavers. The TAT was classified according to differences in the number of fiber bundles as: Type I, with one fiber bundle; Type II, with two fiber bundles; and Type III, with three fiber bundles. The attachment site area of the TAT was measured using a three-dimensional scanner. RESULTS: Cases were Type II in 95% and Type III in 5%, with no cases of Type I identified. In Type II, mean attachment site areas were 85.2 ± 18.2 mm(2) for the medial cuneiform bone (MCB) and 72.4 ± 19.0 mm(2) for the first metatarsal bone (1 MB), showing a significantly larger area for MCB than for 1 MB. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest the possibility of ethnic differences in TAT attachment types and suggest that TAT attachments in Japanese individuals are highly likely to be Type II, with rare cases of Type III. Accurate measurement of attachment site areas is possible with appropriate three-dimensional measurements.
