Gender difference in distance of tibiofibular syndesmosis to joint dynamics of lower extremities during squat

Table 1 Tibiofibular syndesmosis distance

Tibiofibular syndesmosis	Men (n = 20)		Women (n = 20)
Tibiofibular syndesmosis	Wide	Narrow	Wide	Narrow
Tibiofibular syndesmosis distance (mm)	3.9 ± 0.2 (n = 9)	3.4 ± 0.2^a (n = 11)	3.6 ± 0.2 (n = 10)	2.6 ± 0.3^a (n = 10)

^aIn both the male and female subjects women, the tibiofibular syndesmosis (TFS) distance was significantly longer (P < 0.05) in the “wide” (W; TFS distance longer than the mean TFS distance) group than in the “narrow” (N; TFS distance shorted than the mean TFS distance) group
