ABSTRACT
Introduction: current studies on vertebras anthropometric characterization are of great importance for the specialties of Orthopedics and Neurosurgery due to the surgical interest of this knowledge.Objective: to characterize the anthropometric dimensions of the cervical vertebras belonging to the Osteotheque of the University of Medical Sciences of Matanzas.
Materials and Methods: an observational, descriptive study was carried out. The universe of study was integrated by 63 cervical vertebras kept in the Osteotheque. Measures of the body, vertebral foramen and foramen transversarium were taken and their form was described.
Results: the values of the vertebral body measures showed the predominance of the average transverse diameter with 24.24 mm, over the anterior-posterior one of 15.57 mm. The transverse diameter of the vertebral foramen was 25.70 mm, and the anterior-posterior one was 17.06 mm. When studying the form of the transverse foramens, in general the round kind predominated; at the comparison according to laterality, the round kind predominated in the left side while in the right the oval parallel one predominated. In both foramens transversaria the predominance of the transverse diameter over the parallel one was observed and when comparing both foramens, a higher diameter average was found in the left side foramens.
Conclusions: there is a predominance of the transverse diameter in the body and vertebral foramen. The most frequent foramen was the round transverse one and left foramens had higher dimensions.
