Morphometric Analysis Of Typical Thoracic Vertebrae And Its Clinical Relevance
Article | IMSEAR | ID: sea-198694
ABSTRACT

Background:

The frequent surgical interventions of thoracic spine are more common due to a wide array oftraumatic, degenerative and neoplastic diseases. For successful surgical management of these conditions, adetailed anatomical knowledge of the thoracic vertebrae is required.

Aim:

The aim of this study was to present a morphometric reference database for Pedicle morphometry of typicalthoracic vertebrae in Indian population.Material and

methods:

The study was conducted on 120 dry human typical (T2-T8) thoracic vertebrae selectedfrom the bone bank of the Department of Anatomy, SGT Medical College Hospital and research institute, Gurugram.Linear measurements of the vertebrae were taken with the help of digital Vernier caliper .Statistical

Analysis:

Mean and standard deviation of the morphometric parameters taken into account were analyzed. The comparisonof morphometric dimensions of the right and left sides was performed using Student’s t-test and p-value wascalculated.

Results:

The morphometric analysis of the thoracic vertebrae demonstrated that the Pedicle height (PH) was10.35 ± 1.22 mm and Pedicle Width (PW) was 5.65±2.06mm.

Conclusion:

The results provide a comprehensive database for more accurate modelling and design of vertebralbody implants and instrumentations for Indian population.
