ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze value of X-ray in diagnosis of cervical vertebral rotation.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From May 2010 to June 2011,129 patients with cervical spondylosis were collected and examined by X-ray. Among them, 119 cases were collinear spinous, other 10 cases were excluded with collinear. Of involved patients, 28 cases were male,91 cases were females with an average age of (48.53 +/- 14.32) (ranged, 24 to 65) years. The segments and numbers of vertebral body spinous process which were not centered were recorded, and then CT scan was performed to examine segments of vertebral body and spinous process which were not centered to observe rotation of cervical vertebra and spinous process deviation. The relationship between numbers of spinous not centered and vertebral rotation was statistical analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>When the number of spinous not centered ranged from 1 to 6, vertebral rotation rate were 45.45%, 46.67%, 56.86%, 62.07%, 77.14%, 85.19% respectively.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The more numbers of vertebral spinous process not centered, the more chance of corresponding vertebral rotation.</p>
