Abstract:Accurate and detailed spinal canal diameter transverse foraminal morphometry measurements are essential for understanding spinal column-related diseases and surgical planning, especially for transpedicular screw fixation. This is especially because lateral cervical radiographs do not provide accurate measurements. This retrospective study was conducted to measure the dimensions of the transverse foramen sagittal and transverse diameter (TFD), spinal canal diameter, the distance of the spinal canal from the tra… Show more
