•Mean compartment compressibility ratio R10–80 of the tibial anterior compartment in healthy subjects was 15.9 ± 3.6%.•Compartment compressibility did not depend on demographic parameters or sport activity.•Application of 10mbar instead of 0mbar for the low-pressure measurement increased image quali...
