Statistical shape modeling of the talocrural joint using a hybrid multi-articulation joint approach

Abstract Historically, conventional radiographs have been the primary tool to morphometrically evaluate the talocrural joint, which is comprised of the distal tibia, distal fibula, and proximal talus. More recently, high-resolution volumetric imaging, including computed tomography (CT), has enabled...
