Morphometric Analysis of Human Second Cervical Vertebrae (Axis)
Possessing an odontoid process and unique superior articular facets, the axis vertebra morphometry significantly differs from morphometry of other cervical vertebrae. The fractures of axis, especially its dens, are very common and surgeries highly risky. Knowledge of the axis dimensions is essential not only for preclinical studies, diagnosis of spinal
