Table 4.

Gender differences in JSWs of the ankle

JSW/Ankle JSW (mm) p Value
Men (n = 24) Women (n = 71)
Medial JSW
    Right ankle 3.02 ± 0.38 2.40 ± 0.43 < 0.001
    Left ankle 2.97 ± 0.51 2.28 ± 0.45 < 0.001
Lateral JSW
    Right ankle 3.00 ± 0.44 2.40 ± 0.39 < 0.001
    Left ankle 2.86 ± 0.44 2.30 ± 0.46 < 0.001
Narrowest JSW*
    Right ankle 2.81 ± 0.38 2.22 ± 0.43 < 0.001
    Left ankle 2.79 ± 0.41 2.20 ± 0.44 < 0.001

Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation; * narrower of the medial or lateral JSW taken as the narrowest JSW of the ankle; JSW = joint space width.
