BACKGROUND Low back pain is a major health problem. This is due to inadequate adaptation in lumbar part of vertebral column commensurate with evolution of bipedal gait. Adequate morphometric information about the bodies of lumbar vertebrae is essential to neuro and spinal surgeons for various operative procedures of the spine. So, the present study aims to provide data of anterior and posterior heights of bodies of lumbar vertebrae in Central Indians.
