“…Similar to the findings in this study, some studies report that the lowest LSP value is at the L5 vertebra [ 4 , 15 , 24 ]. Other studies report the highest LSP value at the L3 vertebra [ 16 , 18 , 24 ]. Cai et al [ 14 ] found the highest LSP value at L3 vertebra in males and L4 vertebra in females.…”

“…This study also demonstrated similar results. On the other hand, while Ihm et al [ 18 ] found SP to be at its highest at L2 vertebra, other studies found that it was highest at L3 vertebra [ 16 , 24 ]. In a study by Lin et al [ 16 ], in which they take height measurements in the anterior, middle, and posterior locations using the same measurement method as this study, PHSP was reported as being at its highest at L2, while AHSP and MHSP were at their highest at L3, in line with the findings of this study.…”

“…Ihm et al [ 18 ] found that ISS was at its highest at the L2-L3. Leng et al [ 24 ] measured the highest PHISS and AHISS value at L2-L3, and the highest MHISS value at L1-L2. Similarly, in this study, AHISS was at its largest at the L2-L3 level, while PHISS and MHISS were largest at the L1-L2.…”

Background and objective The aim of this study was the examination of morphometry of the spinous process (SP) and interspinous space (ISS) of the lumbar region to help provide a basis for the design and implantation of interspinous devices. Methods Between 2017 and 2019, 215 individuals underwent magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar region for various reasons. No pathology was detected in these images, and the participants' age, height, and weight information when available were included in the study. From these images, the height and length of the SP and ISS in the lumbar region were noted. The heights of the SP and ISS were measured at three levels as anterior, middle, and posterior (respectively, anterior height of the spinous process [AHSP], middle height of the spinous process [MHSP], as well as posterior height of the spinous process [PHSP] for the height of SP, and anterior ISS, middle ISS and posterior ISS for the height of ISS). All measurements were compared according to the gender, age, weight, height, and body mass index of the individuals. Results The level with the lowest SP height and length was L5 vertebra. The ISS height and length were lowest at L4-L5. In addition, we observed a statistically significant difference at multiple levels with age, weight, height, and body mass index of the reference ranges. Conclusion We think that these changes should be considered when designing and implanting interspinous devices. Since there are few studies examining all these correlations, we think that the results of this study will make a unique contribution to the literature.
