EVALUATION OF CERVICAL SAGITTAL PARAMETERS IN NORMAL INDIVIDUALS BETWEEN 20-40 YEARS OF AGE
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 2017, Vol 28, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: To obtain data that could be beneficial for investigation of spine and pelvis parameters in a healthy Turkish population sample who haven’t any spine deformities. This article discusses the prevalence of cervical sagittal balance in the spinal column and cervical sagittal parameter values in the normal population. The parameters related to the sagittal equilibrium in the cervical vertebrae. Material and Methods: These four parameters were analyzed in standing lateral graphics of 30 healthy individuals in 20-43 age groups (mean age:33,51±9,27). C0 inclination angle (angle made with the horizontal line of the Frankfurt line), C0-C2 angle (angle between the Mc Gregor line passing through the skull base and C2 lower end plane), T1 slope angle (angle between C7 lower end plate and T1 upper end plate), and cervical lordosis (angle between C2-C7) were assessed in normal healthy individuals between 20 and 40 years of age. Results: Cervical sagittal parameters; C0 inclination angle (24,82± 2,82), C0-C2 angle (43,03± 14,78), T1 slope angle (2,68 ± 1,33) and cervical lordosis (42,39 ± 7,59) were measured. Conclusion: Results of this study may be stated to be able to be used as markers to provide normal cervical sagittal balance in Turkish patients with healthy population.
