Description
Knowledge of the morphometry of the pedicles of thoracic vertebrae is important for the placement of screws for treating various degenerative disorders of the spine. The morphometry varies considerably among different races and gender. The morphometric knowledge is necessary for designing specific screws and thereby minimizing operational hazards. The study was conducted on 100 dry human typical thoracic vertebrae obtained from the Department of Anatomy, Govt. T.D Medical College, Alappuzha. The measurements taken were pedicle width (PW) and pedicle height (PH). In our study, the mean pedicle width on the right side was found to be 4.2420 + 1.044 mm and on the left side was 4.2473+0.917mm. Mean pedicle heights on the right and left sides were 10.8495 +1.172mm and 10.8481+1.082mm respectively. The findings of the study are similar to the observations made by other Indian researchers. However, the measurements were lower when compared to those of the western population. These differences could be attributed to their larger physique.
Abstract (English)
Knowledge of the morphometry of the pedicles of thoracic vertebrae is important for the placement of screws for treating various degenerative disorders of the spine. The morphometry varies considerably among different races and gender. The morphometric knowledge is necessary for designing specific screws and thereby minimizing operational hazards. The study was conducted on 100 dry human typical thoracic vertebrae obtained from the Department of Anatomy, Govt. T.D Medical College, Alappuzha. The measurements taken were pedicle width (PW) and pedicle height (PH). In our study, the mean pedicle width on the right side was found to be 4.2420 + 1.044 mm and on the left side was 4.2473+0.917mm. Mean pedicle heights on the right and left sides were 10.8495 +1.172mm and 10.8481+1.082mm respectively. The findings of the study are similar to the observations made by other Indian researchers. However, the measurements were lower when compared to those of the western population. These differences could be attributed to their larger physique.
