Morphometric study of the lumbar vertebrae in dried anatomical collections

Background: The objective of this anatomical study was to perform the morphometry dried lumbar vertebrae in human cadavers. Methods: This utilized 200 adult cadaveric vertebrae. digital Vernier calipers used measurements. height, antero-posterior length, transverse length body vertebrae, interpedicular distance at lateral ends, lamina height and thickness, superior inferior articular facet width, mid sagittal diameter vertebral foramen, width thickness pars inter-articularis were measured. Results: body’s anteroposterior more lower border than (p < 0.01). higher over right comparison left (p < 0.001). lamina, facet, recess greater for sided specimens statistical significance not observed remaining parameters > 0.05). Conclusion: offered several dimensions which are essential surgical practice. implants need be manufactured based on that particular sample population.
