“…However, unlike the current study, the second most common type in the Polish study was type III. Again, in contrast to the current study, Tetiker et al (13) found type I to be the most common in a Turkish population in the western part of the country. This can be attributed to regional differences, as the current study was conducted in the south east of Turkey, where it is customary for people to sit on the ground.…”

“…All the values were greater in males than females. These morphometric values were similar to those of Tetiker et al (13). Tetiker reports that knowledge of these and other morphologic and morphometric changes in the coccyx would be useful to support clinicians' diagnosis and treatment decisions in cases involving the coccygeal region.…”

“…The highest vertebrae count was found to be 4 (54.2%) in the current study patients, which was consistent with findings in literature. In studies by Tetiker et al (13) and Woon et al (10), 4 coccygeal vertebrae were reported most commonly (64%, 76%, respectively), whereas Shalaby et al found that most subjects had 3 coccygeal vertebrae (63%) (11). In the current study, a significant difference was determined between males and females in terms of the number and thickness of the vertebrae.…”

Background: To evaluate the sacrococcygeal anatomy and morphometry with lower abdomen magnetic resonance (MR) images in asymptomatic adult subjects Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the images of 216 adult patients who underwent MR imaging of the lower abdomen for reasons other than coccydynia in the radiology clinic. In this evaluation, coccyx (Co) thickness (from Co1 middle section), sacrococcygeal angle, fusion between vertebrates, number of coccygeal vertebrae, sacrococcygeal joint angle, intercocsigeal joint angle, coccyx type, presence of subluxation, coccyx flat length, coccyx curvature length, sacrum flat length, sacrum curvature length, sacrococcygeal flat length, sacrococcygeal curvature length, sacral angle, coccyx curvature index, sacrum curvature index, sacrococcygeal curvature index were measured. Results: The mean number of coccyx vertebrae was 3.5 ± 0.75 in females and 3.8 ± 0.78 in males. The mean coccyx thickness was 7.3 ±1.4 mm in females and 8.4±1.8 in males. Subluxation was determined in 59 (27.3%) cases, and not in 157(72.7%) cases. The mean length of the coccyx was 35.4±6.6 mm in females and 38.9±8.7 mm in males. The mean length of the coccyx curvature was 37.5±7.2 mm in females and 41.7±9.1 mm in males. The most common coccyx type in both males and females was type II coccyx in 98 (45.4%) patients. The sacrococcygeal angle was 109±15 degrees in females and 113±13 in males. Conclusion: Knowledge of the vertebrae anatomy of asymptomatic patients may prevent unnecessary surgery in coccydynia. Wide ranges of similar studies are needed to be done with patients with coccydynia.

“…Finally, changes in the sacro-coccygeal angle were measured, as loads applied at the coccyx will rotate this mobile joint, reducing the sacro-coccygeal angle. The angle was defined as the angle between the line drawn from the midpoint of the upper edge of the S1 vertebra and the midpoint of the upper edge of the coccyx (Cx1) vertebra, and the line drawn from the midpoint of the upper edge of the coccyx (Cx1) vertebra with the distal aspect of the coccyx Cx3 vertebra according to (19) (Figure 3).…”

“…Direct coccyx radiography along with computed tomography (CT), three dimensional CT, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to evaluate patients with coccydynia, which is more frequently observed in women than in men. However, direct radiography is frequently used for evaluation due to its fast results, ease of access, low price, and easy dynamic filming [6][7][8][9].…”

Amaç: Koksidinalı hastalarda morfolojik ve patolojik anatominin özellikleri sınıflandırmayı amaçladık. Hastalar ve Yöntem: Nisan 2015-Nisan 2018 tarihleri arasında Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat Üniversitesi Eğitim Araştırma Hastanesine koksidina yakınması ile başvuran 16 yaş ve üzerindeki hastalar çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastaların oturarak ve ayakta çekilen koksiks ve ön-arka pelvis grafileri retrospektif olarak incelendi. Bulgular: Koksiksin skolyozunun, hipermobilitesinin ve dislokasyonunun sakrokoksigeal açılanma ile ilişkili olmadığı görüldü. Hastaların oturarak ve ayakta çekilen koksiks grafi ölçümlerinde sakrokoksigeal ve interkoksigeal açıları arasında pozitif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki bulundu. Ameliyat olmamış hastalarda sakrum ve koksiks uzunluğu arasında ve interkoksigeal açı ve koksiks uzunluğu arasında ilişki bulundu. Erkeklerde sakrokoksigeal eklem uzunluğu ile sakrokoksigeal açı ilişkili bulundu. Kadınlarda sakrokoksigeal eklemde füzyonun daha düşük olduğu tespit edildi. Sonuç: Koksidina yakınması ile gelen hastalar değerlendirilirken koksiksin tüm düzlemlerde hareket edebilen ve patoloji geliştirebilen bir omurga segmenti olduğu unutulmamalıdır. Bu hastaların yan ve AP pozisyonda oturarak ve ayakta çekilen dinamik direkt grafilerle değerlendirilmesi patolojinin bulunmasında etkili bir yöntemdir. Koksidinalı hastalarının sınıflandırılmasında her üç düzlemde patoloji içeren yeni sınıflandırma gereklidir. Sınıflandırmamızın bu eksikliği gidereceğini düşünmekteyiz.
