Morphometrics of the human lumbar spine (915.5)

Morphometrics of human lumbar spine is of interest to diverse fields of study such as anthropology, orthopedics and bioengineering. The aim of this study is to deliver detailed tabulated morphometrics of the lumbar spine as user‐friendly cross‐disciplinary comprehensible data. The sample used in this study was comprised of 701 skeletonized black (n = 428) and white (n = 273) adults (440 males and 261 females) with healthy spines between 16 and 96 years of age from two North American and two South African fully documented anatomical collections. A total of fifty‐five dimensions were collected via digital caliper from individual skeletonized lumbar spine. Each lumbar vertebra provided eleven morphometric sites. Compilation of the lumbar morphometric data tabulated as means, range and standard deviations divided by sex and ethnic backgrounds are presented. Diverse applications of the resulting data include but are not confined to applications in orthopedic spinal surgeries, bioengineering of 3D vertebra and various subfields of anthropology.
