Morphometric Study of the Articular Facets of Atlas Vertebra in Bangladeshi Population

Context: The first cervical vertebra, Atlas has different features from other vertebra. Cervical vertebra is an important part of bony anatomy craniovertebral junction. stability atlas provided by two symmetrical lateral masses that are united anterior and posterior arches. These the most bulky solid parts atlas, supportive elements composed superior inferior articular facets. spine violated various traumatic non-traumatic causes. Instability CVJ needs surgical correction or long term immobility to attain fusion Objectives: knowing dimensions facets useful in internal fixation techniques for junction abnormalities. knowledge may determine strategy. result study will be helpful not only anatomists but also orthopedicians, neurosurgeons forensic experts. Materials methods: In this total 103 dried, unbroken unknown age sex were collected 1st 2nd year students Jahurul Islam Medical College, 2023 kishoreganj. All measured using Digital Vernier Calipers with 0.01 resolution. Conclusions: Information details about screw placement at some stage CVG surgery procedure could helpful.
