Study on Morphometric Assessment of Adult Human Lumbar Vertebrae | Chapter 4 | Recent Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 3

 The lumbar area of the human spine is the most usually affected by low backache. Lumbar morphometry is crucial for a range of therapies targeted at stabilising and correcting anomalies, as well as for understanding the biomechanics of the lumbar spine.

The purpose of this study is to determine the anatomical dimensions of the lumbar vertebral body in order to prepare spinal fixation devices. The purpose of this study was to gather morphometric data on the dimensions of the lumbar vertebral body that may be employed in clinical practise. An observational study was conducted in which 47 dry macerated adult human lumbar vertebral sets were studied directly, with morphometric analysis taking precedence over vertebral body analysis. The data was processed and analysed using SPSS Ver.20. The 'ANOVA' and 'Z test' were employed to analyse statistical differences.

The antero-posterior (AP) diameter of the superior surface rose steadily from L1 to L5. However, the inferior surface's AP diameter rose until L4, then decreased. From L1 to L5, transverse measures demonstrate a progressive upward trend. The spinal bodies' heights changed over time. From L1 to L5, superior surface area (SA) continuously increases. Inferior surface area (IA) grows until L4 and then declines until L5.

Except for the lumbar vertebral bodies' 'posterior height,' the study discovered extremely significant variations in all vertebral measurements. The results should be broadened to encompass a larger sample size and known male and female lumbar vertebrae from a diverse population.
