Anatomical variations and anthropometric parameters of the lumbosacral spine and their significance in Surgery and Forensics

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the already known but also the unknown anatomical variations of the lumbosacral spine and to measure important parameters of the sacrum.176 sacral bones were studied (from the 3rd Cemetery of Athens and the Laboratory of Anatomy of the Democritus University of Thrace) of which 99 belong to men and 77 to women. The measurements were made by electronic pachymeter and tape measure. The results were processed using a statistical package IBM SPSS Statistics 26 and parametric and non-parametric tests were used. The results in the first part present the anatomical variations (morphological) observed in the lumbar spine. The second part presents the results from the measurements on the sacrum as well as from the calculation of gender-specific identification indexes with analytical tables based on gender. In addition, during the study, a new anatomical variation of the sacrum was identified, with the presence of a supernumerary sacral foramen. In the ...
