Anatomy Analysis of <scp>C5 CT</scp> Images in Children Aged 1–14 Years
In children over 3 years old, both the C5 pedicle and lateral mass reach a diameter of over 3.5 mm, allowing for the placement of a 3.5 mm screw. Preoperative thin-section CT scans and careful measurement of various anatomical parameters are essential. This study provides specific imaging anatomical parameters for the C5 pedicle and lateral mass in children, serving as a morphological anatomical reference for posterior cervical spine fixation surgery and designing pediatric posterior cervical spine screws.
