We evaluated how and whether the pedicular morphometry of the C7 and T1 vertebrae might impact C7/T1 spinal fusions for patients from Argentina.
Using computed tomography (CT) scans, we evaluated the pedicular morphology at the C7 and T1 levels.
Among 102 male and female CT studies, we observed significant differences in the height, width, length, and morphometry of the C7 and T1 pedicles.
This study of C7/T1 CT scans revealed significant sex-based morphometric differences, particularly in pedicle height, width, and length at C7 and T1. Given the notable variability in vertebral characteristics observed in our study sample, we recommend preoperative planning with CT scans for C7/T1 fusion.
我们评估了C7和T1椎体的椎弓根形态测量如何以及是否会影响来自阿根廷患者的C7/T1脊柱融合术。
使用计算机断层扫描(CT)扫描,我们评估了C7和T1水平的椎弓根形态。
在102例男性和女性CT研究中,我们观察到C7和T1椎弓根在高度、宽度、长度和形态测量方面存在显著差异。
这项对C7/T1 CT扫描的研究揭示了基于性别的显著形态测量差异,特别是在C7和T1的椎弓根高度、宽度和长度方面。鉴于我们研究样本中观察到的椎体特征存在显著变异性,我们建议对C7/T1融合术进行术前CT扫描规划。
