Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anatomy and Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
An extensive review ofthe literaturehas revealeda limited pedicle studyof the sacrum in Indian population The present study analyses a very significant variation in the values as regards the racial regional differences Our study cover morphometric details of the 1stpedicleof sacrum for pedicle screwplacement We intend to study for safe entry of pedicle screw including finding the screw depth in Navi Mumbai populationBoucher in 1959 was the first to use pedicle screws There has been an almost continuous development in the field of spinal instrumentation by various surgeonsMaterials and Methods The study was done on 30 dry human sacra and 30 cadaver sacral bones which were collected from Department of Anatomy MGM Medical College and Terna medical collegeResult No significant difference in posteriorpedicleheight was seen in both genders Anteroposteriorlength and width were higher on both sides in males Anteroposterior length ofalaeon bothsidesin both genders were of almost of equal thicknessConclusion Our study brings forth valuable data froma populationof NaviMumbai whichcan be of use for operating surgeons and interventionists Our study revealed racial and regional variation with a comparisonto other country studiesKeywords Pedicle study Sacrum Morphometry Screw fixation
