ABSTRACT Aim: To quantitatively analyse dry atlas vertebra of South Indians and to record the variation in its measurement. Objective: To measure the antero-posterior width of atlas vertebra from dried bone samples of South Indians using Vernier callipers and to statistically analyse the difference in their dimensions. Background: The first cervical vertebra, namely the atlas (C1) has different anatomical features from other cervical vertebrae. The atlas holds the globe of the skull and is devoid of body and spine. In this study, thirty five dried specimens of atlas vertebrae were examined. Various dimensions of the vertebra was measured using Vernier calliper and any abnormalities present in it were noted down and photographed. Statistical analysis of the measurements was done. The knowledge of these measurements and the variations present may be of importance to Orthopaedic and Neuro surgeons. This information may also be helpful in avoiding and reducing complications such as vertebral artery injury or spinal cord injury during spine surgeries. Materials and Methods: In this study thirty five human C1 vertebrae of unknown age and sex were examined and measurements made. All parameters were measured using a Vernier calliper. Reason: This information may also be helpful in avoiding and reducing complications such as vertebral artery injury, spinal cord injury during spine surgeries.
