Extensions of the trochlear surface and facets of the neck tali, i.e. the effects of squatting stress induced bone-remodelling, have been studied in samples from a North Indian population and examined for differences with those from other geographic sectors. Further, size and side of occurrence of the facets and extensions were analysed. Various squatting effects on the talus are found to be more common in this zone in general and in females in particular. The differences are appraised in the sociophysiologic context of life style in the studied population. The study reasonably emphasizes the need for elaboration of impact, that stress induced bone remodelling may have on physical and sports performance especially that of the females and possible preventive and corrective measures.
