    Possessing an odontoid process and unique superior articular facets, the axis vertebra morphometry significantly differs from morphometry of other cervical vertebrae. The fractures of axis, especially its dens, are very common and surgeries highly risky. Knowledge of the axis dimensions is essential not only for preclinical studies, diagnosis of spinal cord diseases, planning of the surgeries but also for correct selection and insertion of surgical instruments or vertebral implants design. Many quantitative studies of the second cervical vertebra have been performed, yet still lacking the area parameters determination and precision of three-dimension in vivo measurement. Vertebral dimensions are reported to vary among populations, although there are very little studies examining Caucasian specimen. This study aims to provide three-dimensional in vivo morphometric analysis of.. Read More»
