“…As a reflection of individual behaviour and lifestyle, various bony modifications have been observed in skeletons of different populations. The position of the human body like erect posture, bipedal gait, and squatting position will put several stresses on the human foot leading to morphological variations [2]. Squatting position, most commonly practised in Indian races involves different posture at the hip, knee, and ankle joints i.e., hyperflexion at the hip and knee and hyper dorsiflexion at the ankle and subtalar joints [3].…”

Objective: The present study is an attempt to determine the various types of bony modifications on the dorsum of the neck of the human tali of both feet due to the continuous habit of squatting in humans and correlating these findings to the existing literature. Materials and Methods: 70 tali of unknown sex, obtained from the Department of Anatomy of MVJ Medical College and Research Hospital, Bangalore were used for the study. The dorsal surface of talar neck was carefully examined for the presence of medial and lateral squatting facets, combined facets, continuous gutter shaped facets and extension of trochlear surface. The collected data were tabulated and percentage of each facets and trochlear extensions were calculated. Statistical analysis of data was performed. Results: Out of 70 dry human tali, lateral squatting facets were present in 29 (41.4%) bones and medial squatting facets were seen in 11 (15.7%) bones, gutter shaped facets in 12 (17.1%) tali and combined facet present in 10 (14.2%) tali. Complete absence of facet was observed in 8 tali. Lateral extension of trochlear surface on the dorsum of neck was seen in 60 (85.7%) bones and medial trochlear extension was seen in 8(11.5%) bones. Lateral squatting facets were more common on right side but medial, gutter and combined facets though less frequent were seen more on left side. Lateral extensions were more commonly seen than medial extensions. Conclusion: The knowledge of incidence of these modifications on the dorsal surfaces of neck of the talus acts as a key anthropological factor to identify the racial and regional origin of unclaimed skeleton. Hence the results of this study will be of great help for forensic experts, anthropologist who are handling the unidentified skeletons. KEY WORDS: Squatting Facets, Talus, Trochlear extensions, Sub Talar Joint Stability.

BACKGROUND Talus is a very important bone among the skeleton of foot. Talus is a very common bone which undergoes some structural modifications due to prolonged habitual squatting postures. Structural alterations like squatting facets, trochlear extensions are observed over the dorsal aspect of the neck of the talus common type of squatting facets observed are medial squatting facets, lateral squatting facets, combined type of squatting facets .These are observed in specific group of people. METHODS Present study was conducted in 100 talus bones, which are procured from department of Anatomy, Andhra medical college, Visakhapatnam. Structural modifications like squatting facets, trochlear extensions are studied in all the bones. RESULTS Squatting facets are observed in most of the talus .but trochlear extensions are not observed in any of the talus .out of 100 talus, 54 tali are having lateral squatting facet, 4tali are having a medial squatting facet, 16 tali showing combined type of squatting facet, 26 tali are not having any type of squatting facets. Out of 54 right sided taluses, 24 tali are having a lateral squatting facet, 3 tali are having medial squatting facet, 10 tali are having combined type of squatting facet, 17tali are not having any type of squatting facet. Out of 46 left sided taluses, 30tali are having lateral squatting facet, 1 talus is having a medial squatting facet, 6 tali are having combined type of squatting facets, 9tali are not having any type of squatting facet. CONCLUSIONS Incidence of modifications over the neck of talus is very common in people who are having a rural background, those people are having a habitual squatting position. And these alterations may be due to genetic inheritance and several unexplainable reasons. KEYWORDS Talus, Squatting Facet, Habitual Squatting Posture, Lateral Squatting Facet, Medial Squatting Facet
