A Study on Morphometric Analysis of Sacral Vestibule Using Plain Computed Tomography
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Background- The present study was aimed to study and develop in-depth understanding of the morphometry of sacral vestibule in North-West Indian population presenting to our institution, which will go a long way in planning to treat the posterior pelvic injuries with percutaneous screws, thereby reducing the morbidity associated with open fixation. Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of Orthopaedics and Radiodiagnosis at Dr Rajendra Prasad Govt. Medical College, Kangra at Tanda over a period of one year. All the patients of the age >18 years and above submitting for either abdominal, lower spinal or non-orthopaedic pathology of pelvic region, presenting for computed tomography to the Department of Radiodiagnosis were included in the study. Results: Coronal angulation of S1 and S2 ranged from 11° to 33° with a mean value of 22.04°±6.59° and from 1° to 10° with a mean of 5.06°±2.77° respectively. Axial angulation of S1 and S2 ranged from 2° to 23.0° with a mean value of 11.01°±3.74° and from -1° to 8° with a mean of 3.51°±2.88° respectively. Length of vestibule of S1 and S2 ranged from 98.60 to 128.2 mm with a mean value of 112.08±6.21 mm and from 108.20 to 128.60 mm with a mean of 128.60±11.85 mm respectively. Alar length ranged from 31.0 to 39.0 with a mean value of 35.60±2.37. Alar Indentation ranged from 4.0 to 6.0 with a mean value of 4.99±0.80. Alar width ranged from 25.0 to 36.0 with a mean value of 30.39±3.41. Conclusion: The present study, the first of its kind in Northern part of India arrived to help us anthropometric measurements of sacral vestibule, thereby, helping in development of local protocols for percutaneous fixation in sacral fracture.
