Statistical shape modeling of mean shape and principal variability of the human talar bone in the Chinese population

CONCLUSIONS: SSM is an effective method of finding mean shape and principal variability. Considerable variabilities were noticed among these three groups and all principal modes of variation. No dominant talar model was found to represent the majority of tali, regardless the gender. Such information is crucial to improve the current understanding of talar pathologies and their treatment strategies.PMID:37822123 | DOI:10.1177/10225536231206534
