Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Previous studies in the past about morphometry of thoracic vertebrae mainly focused on pedicle diameters and their angulations. The vertebral body were not studied particularly in Telangana Region that is the reason the present study has given importance to the morphometry of vertebral body. Objective: To measure the various parameters of vertebral body in typical thoracic vertebrae by using vernier caliper. Material and methods: Hundred dry human typical thoracic vertebrae of undetermined gender and age were selected for the study. The various parameters of vertebral body were measured. Results: The anteroposterior distance of the vertebral body in typical thoracic vertebrae ranged from 15 - 29 mm with a mean of 21.96mm . The vertebral body superior width ( superior transeverse diameter) ranged from 23-32 mm with a mean of 24.4mm. The vertebral body inferior width (inferior trasverse diameter) ranged from 25 - 38 mm with a mean of 31.4 mm. The anterior height (mid sagital) of the body ranged from 14 - 20mm with a mean of 17.71 mm. The Rt & Lt. lateral height of the body ranged from 14 - 21 mm with a mean of 18.01 mm. Conclusion: The results provide information for more accurate modelling and design of vertebral body implants and instrumentations for Indian population.
