Abstract

Study Background: The article presented titled ‘Morphometric Study of Dried Thoracic Vertebrae of the Human Cadavers’ by Ashish et al. offers the measurements of important dimensions of thoracic vertebrae, which are essential in the clinical practice. The implants at the vertebrae need to be manufactured based on the anatomical dimensions of vertebrae of at particular sample population.

Research Goals and Hypotheses: The aim of this anatomical investigation was to study the morphometry of the thoracic vertebrae and their foramen in cadaveric dried collections

Methodological Approach: This present descriptive cross-sectional study included 100 adult cadaveric dry thoracic vertebrae. The digital Vernier calipers was used to perform the measurements.

Results and Discoveries: It was observed that the anteroposterior length of the vertebral body was more at the inferior border than at the superior border (p < 0.001). The length of lamina, width of inferior articular facet and thickness of transverse process were more on the right side than the left side (p < 0.001). The height of inferior articular facet, pedicle length, chord length and width of transverse process were greater for the left side than the right side (p < 0.01). The remaining parameters, which were compared on the right and left sides did not show the statistical significance (p > 0.05).
