Which is the most prominent spinous process in the cervico-thoracic spinal junction? A radiological study in a Mediterranean population sample

Results In males, C7 SP is longer in 72.90% and T1 is longer in 27.1% (p <0,001); in females, C7 is longer in 42.7% and T1 is longer in 57.3% (p <0,001), respectively. Therefore, there is a statistically significant difference of C7 – T1 SP morphology. In males, the average length of C7 SP was 44,11 mm (range 23,70 mm to 61,90 mm); in females, the average length of C7 SP was 37,82 mm (range 26,10 mm to 54,20 mm). In males, the T1 SP length was 47,93 mm (range 24,20 mm to 58,70 mm); in females, the T1 SP length was 40,44 mm (ranging 24,40 mm to 53,10 mm).
