| Abstract: |
Artificial vertebral implants, used widely to stabilize the thoracic spine in incidence of fracture, tumours and various spinal deformities, need a constant modification and improvement in their design for which the detailed morphometric analysis of thoracic vertebra is imperative. Hence, the present study was carried out to provide a comprehensive morphometric data of typical and atypical thoracic vertebrae in Greater Noida, India. Material and Methods: The present study was done on a total of 200 (typical 115 +atypical 85) thoracic vertebrae of unknown age and gender by direct measurements of the vertebral body ( right and anterior height, anteroposterior and transverse diameter) and pedicle width and height of right and left sides. The measurements were taken by Digital Vernier Caliper and data collected was statistically analyzed. Results: The mean right side height and anterior height of body in was 15.98mm and 15.65 mm respectively in typical and15.62mm and 15.77 mm in atypical vertebrae correspondingly. The mean transverse diameter of body was noted to be 24,65mm and 25.06 mm in typical and atypical thoracic vertebrae respectively while the mean anteroposterior diameter was 19.39 mm and 17.84 mm in typical and atypical vertebrae respectively. Right side pedicle height was 9.94 mm and 10.83mm in typical and atypical vertebrae respectively, while pedicle height on left side was 9.80 mm and 10.73 mm in typical and atypical vertebrae respectively. The mean pedicle width of right side was found to be 1.88 mm and 2.59 mm in typical and atypical respectively. The mean left pedicle width was 1.81mm and 2.55mm in typical and atypical vertebrae respectively. Discussion and Conclusion: Spine morphometry is of global interest because of its great importance in prosthetics, orthopedics, and biomechanics. The date obtained from this study will serve as a reference for designing of artificial vertebral body implants for the typical and atypical thoracic vertebrae, and thereby enhance preclinical and clinical evaluation of vertebral implants, prosthetics, and management of spine pathology in Indian population.
