Anthropometric evaluation for surgical feasibility of C1 & #8211;C2 transarticular screw stabilization in Indian population

Conclusion: This study provides a morphometric database which is characteristic of the C1–C2 vertebrae in the normal Indian population with regard to the anatomic feasibility of the TAS fixation for various C1–C2 pathologies. The C2 pars width and height measured in the current study can guide the selection of TAS screws in the Indian population. This study could serve in providing the baseline anatomic parameters assessed in the healthy individuals to design and develop customized screws and related implant assembly which might provide wider clinical applicability.
