摘要

Introduction:The skeletal system is examined as upper and lower bones(skeleton appendiculare)and bones from the head to the pelvis(Skeleton axiale).Due to its complex structure and important functions,it is a common area where problems such as instability,pain and dysfunction are caused by both degenerative processes increasing with age and trauma,tumoral and infectious diseases.Materials and Methods:123 lumbar vertebrae dry bone samples were used for the study.When selecting dry bone samples,care was taken to select those without deformity,fracture,pathology and erosion,regardless of age and sex.All measurements were performed using a digital caliper with a precision of 0.01 millimeter(mm).On dry bone samples,parameters such as anterior height of corpus vertebrae,posterior height of corpus vertebrae,transverse diameter in corpus vertebrae superior,transverse length of foramen vertebrae,sagittal length of foramen vertebrae,length between right and left processus transversus,and length between right and left processus mamillaries were measured.Results:According to the measurement results,the mean anterior height of corpus vertebra was 25.79 mm and the mean posterior height of corpus vertebra was 26.08 mm.Corpus vertebra superior transverse diameter is 45.62 mm,corpus vertebra superior sagittal diameter is 31.99 mm.Conclusion:We believe that the measurements obtained in this study will help surgeons for successful operation and anesthesia.We hope that our study will serve as an example and a reliable source for new studies on lumbar vertebrae.
