Methods: 120 dry adult fibulae (60 right __ampersandsignamp; 60 left) obtained from the Department of Anatomy were studied.&#13;
Results: The mean height of talar facet on fibula was found to be 20.61__ampersandsignplusmn;2.07 mm on the left side and 20.63__ampersandsignplusmn;1.64 mm on the right side. The mean width of talar facet on fibula was found to be 18.07__ampersandsignplusmn;2.14 mm on the left side and 18.03__ampersandsignplusmn;1.98 mm on the right side.&#13;
Conclusions: The study provides a comprehensive data about the morphometry of distal end of dry adult fibulae which will help in reconstruction surgeries of the ankle joint.&#13;
