Tib., tibiotarsus; Tmt., tarsometatarsus; Ph., phalanges. Fl, functional linear length according to Schaller et al. 2005; Bd, distal breadth of tibiotarsus; Bp, proximal breadth of tarsometatarsus according to Von den Driesch (1976) (from the medial to the lateral edge of the articular surfaces of the condyli), all morphometric measurements with cartilage intact. IT joint max. flex./ext., intertarsal joint maximum flexion/extension; unbracketed values indicate intertarsal joint with skin and muscles intact; bracketed values indicate skin and muscles removed with ligaments remaining intact.
