MORPHOMETRİC CHARACTERISTICS OF HUMAN VERTEBRAL COLUMN WHICH HAS NUMERICAL VARİATİON
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 2000, Vol 11, Issue 4
Abstract
Recent developments in surgical interventions and increasing popularity of using implants in lovver thoracal and lumbar vertebrae have necessitated more detailed knovvledge of anatomical and morphometric characteristics of these structures. Here we present a 22-year-old male skeleton that has 25 presacral vertebrae (PSV). The sceleton has thoraco-lumbar (TL) vertebrae with a numerical variation of vertebral column, and we discuss morphometric characteristics of his lovver thoracal and lumbar vertebrae.
