ABSTRACT:

Introduction: It has been suggested that reduced inter-pedicular distance is one of the cause of primary narrowing of the spinal canal may lead to low back pain.Transpedicular approaches are being widely used in many surgeries such as bone biopsy, bone grafting, Pedicle screw fixation, vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty. The morphometric data of lumbar vertebra from Udaipur district i.e. in southern Rajasthan is to the best of our knowledge, virtually unexplored so we under took this study.

Aims and objectives: The present study aims at determining the morphometric norms of Pedicle of the lumbar vertebra in Udaipur zone measured in dried bone. In this study the following measurements on Pedicle of lumbar vertebra are taken i.e. pedicle height, pedicle width and  Interpedicular distance.

Materials and methods: The present study was done on the 110 dry adult human lumbar vertebrae from various medical colleges of Udaipur. The morphometrical data of the Pedicle of human lumbar vertebrae were measured and analysed.  Digital vernier calliper was used to measure the morphometric data.

Result and discussion: The pedicle height of Pedicle decreased from L1 to L5 except in L2 and width of Pedicle increased from L1 to L5. Interpedicular distanced gradually increased from L1 to L5.

Key words: Lumbar Vertebra, Pedicle Length, Pedicle Width, Interpedicular Distance, Pedicle Screw Fixation.
