Abstract: Background: The present study was aimed to study and develop in-depth understanding of the effect of height on morphometry of sacral vestibule in North-West Indian population presenting to our institution, which will go a long way in planning to treat the posterior pelvic injuries with percutaneous screws, thereby reducing the morbidity associated with open fixation.
Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of Orthopaedics and Radiodiagnosis at Dr Rajendra Prasad Govt. Medical College, Kangra at Tanda over a period of one year. All the patients of the age >18 years and above submitting for either abdominal, lower spinal or non-orthopaedic pathology of pelvic region, presenting for computed tomography to the Department of Radiodiagnosis were included in the study.
Results: There was a weak relation between interspinus distance with coronal angulation of S1 (r=0.016; P=0.697) and S2 (r=0.069; P=0.090). There was a weak relation between height with axial angulation of S1 (r=0.037; P=0.364) and S2 (r=-0.034; P=0.406). There was no relation between height with length of vestibule of S1 (r=0.068; P=0.093) and S2 (r=-0.012; P=0.766). There was a weak relation between height with area of vestibule of S1 (r=0.062; P=0.129) and S2 (r=-0.035; P=0.385). There a weak negative and significant relation of Alar length (r=-0.202; P<0.001), weak positive and significant relation of Alar Indentation (r=0.087; P=0.032), and weak and non-significant relation of Alar width (r=0.072; P=0.077) with height.
Conclusion: The present study, the first of its kind in Northern part of India arrived to help us anthropometric measurements of sacral vestibule, thereby, helping in development of local protocols for percutaneous fixation in sacral fracture.
