Morphometric study of the lumbar vertebrae in dried anatomical collections.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The objective of this anatomical study was to perform the morphometry of dried lumbar vertebrae in human cadavers.

Methods

This study utilized 200 adult human cadaveric dried lumbar vertebrae. The digital Vernier calipers was used to perform the measurements. The height, antero-posterior length, transverse length of the body of the vertebrae, interpedicular distance at the lateral ends, lamina length, height and thickness, superior and inferior articular facet height and width, mid sagittal and transverse diameter of vertebral foramen, height, width and thickness of the pars inter-articularis were measured.

Results

The vertebral body's anteroposterior length was more at the lower border than at the superior border ( p < 0.01). The length of lamina wa
