Morphometric Study of Cervical Vertebrae C3-C7 in a Population from Northeastern Mexico

Knowing the dimensions of the vertebral elements is very important for the development of instrumentation related to the cervical spine. Ethnic variations have been reported in these dimensions and, to date, there have been no morphometric studies of this area performed on the Mexican population. We...
