Abstract
Background: We evaluated how and whether the pedicular morphometry of the C7 and T1 vertebrae might impact C7/T1 spinal fusions for patients from Argentina.
Methods: Using computed tomography (CT) scans, we evaluated the pedicular morphology at the C7 and T1 levels.
Results: Among 102 male and female CT studies, we observed significant differences in the height, width, length, and morphometry of the C7 and T1 pedicles.
Conclusion: This study of C7/T1 CT scans revealed significant sex-based morphometric differences, particularly in pedicle height, width, and length at C7 and T1. Given the notable variability in vertebral characteristics observed in our study sample, we recommend preoperative planning with CT scans for C7/T1 fusion.
