Anatomic morphological study of thoracolumbar foramen in normal adults.

CONCLUSIONS: The minimum height of intervertebral foramen in the thoracolumbar segment was T6/7, and L1/2 was the minimum height in the lumbar segment. When placing a spinal endoscopic working channel safely into intervertebral foramen, it is necessary to perform an enlarging foraminoplasty to reduce the risk of injury to the exiting nerve root.
