“…4 There has been a steady increase in the number of patients undergoing the C1 lateral mass screw (C1LMS) procedure through the posterior arch. Although skeletal maturation evaluation 5 using the cervical vertebrae and its modified version are now commonly used to interpret the growth potential of young patients, inadequate attention is paid to the radiological anatomy of this region with a view to identifying pathology. 6 Knowledge of this anomaly is critical to surgeons performing posterior atlantoaxial fusions.…”

Objective: This study evaluated the prevalence and morphologic characteristics of ponticulus posticus (PP) by using cervical 3-dimensional (3-D) cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan images. Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted by selecting cervical 3-D CBCT images of 698 patients, which were examined for the presence and types of PP. Results: In 257 patients, 438 PPs, complete or partial, bilateral or unilateral, were identified on the 698 cervical 3-D CBCT scans; therefore, the prevalence was 36.8%. Bilateral complete PP and partial PP were observed in 6.3% and 16.2% of subjects, respectively. There was a significant difference in the prevalence between males and females (P = .001) and between the right and left sides between males and females, but not between age groups. Conclusion: Ponticulus posticus is a relatively common anomaly in this Turkish sample, which may have implications for those who perform clinical procedures on the upper cervical spine.

“…5,12 We, however, could find only a few studies [13][14][15] on its prevalence or morphological characteristics in an Asian population. This information on the posterior neural arch of C1 when performing lateral mass screw insertion is very important to avoid vertebral artery injury.…”

“…Assessment of skeletal maturity was carried out using the cervical vertebral maturation index (CVMI), as the proposed HasselFarman method, on lateral cephalograms (9), is a routine diagnostic radiograph for orthodontic treatment. Studies have found that CVMI is a reliable method for skeletal maturity assessment (9,13,15,19,21).…”

“…Studies have found that CVMI is a reliable method for skeletal maturity assessment (9,13,15,19,21). Some studies report high correlations between calcification stages of teeth (dental maturity) and skeletal maturity indicators (13)(14)(15)(16).…”

“…There are wide individual variations in the timing, duration and velocity of growth, and therefore we need to assess individual development stages (4). Skeletal maturity may be assessed by means of several more or less reliable parameters: chronological age (5), increases in body height and weight (6), secondary sexual characteristics (6), dental maturity (calcification stages) (7), hand and wrist maturational stages (8), cervical vertebral maturation (3,9) and biochemical markers (10,11).…”
