The importance of the measurements and the variations in measurements across different populations lies in designing of implants for Total Knee Replacement (TKR) surgery. The aim of this study is to obtain data about upper end of tibia and facilitate designing of tibial component of prosthesis for replacement surgery. The study was conducted on 300 tibias all measurements were recorded with the help of Vernier calipers. Anteroposterior diameter of the medial condyle (YZ) in the present study was found to be 42.70±3.80 while in the other studies it was found from 40.60±3.90 to 48.09±4.26.Transverse diameter of the medial condyle (WX) in the present study was found to be 26.70±3.00 while in the other studies it was found from 26.90±2.90 to 29.78±2.99. Anteroposterior diameter of the lateral condyle (UV) in the present study was found to be 40.00±3.30 while in the other studies it was found from 34.80±3.90 to 40.76±4.05. Transverse diameter of the lateral condyle (ST) in the present study was found to be 25.00±3.00 while in the other studies it was found from 26.50±3.40 to 28.72±3.11.
