Normative Cervical Cobbs’ angle in Sudanese: CT Based Study
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 9
Abstract
The purpose of this descriptive study was to establish the normal values of cervical Cobbs’ angle in Sudanese subjects using Computerized Tomography (CT).This study was done at Al-Zytouna specialized hospital and Royal Care hospital. A sample of 90 patients in different ages and different genders were involved and Cobbs’ method was used in the evaluation of superior and inferior end plates. The lateral scouts for cervical spine were obtained. Traumatic cases, any disease of the vertebral column, spinal canal, para vertebral muscles diseases were excluded. Toshiba CT scanner was used. The exposure factors were 120 KVp, 10-50 MA. End plates angle from C3 to C5 was measured using Cobbs’ method for both genders and the data were correlated to their ages, weight, and vertebral height. The mean Cobbs’ angle of cervical vertebra in males were found to be (5.420 ), (5.080 ), (5.010 ), and in females (4.450 ), (4.270 ), (4.090 ) for C3, C4, and C5 respectively. There is significant difference in Cobbs’ angle of cervical spine between the two genders at p=0.000. The mean weight in males were found to be (75.83 kg) and in females (69.63 kg), the end plates angles increase when the subject body weight increase. The study concluded that the mean Cobbs’ angle of cervical vertebra differs significantly from males and females Sudanese.
