Abstract
We studied the morphology of the thoracic vertebrae in the spines of seventeen human cadavera in order to define parameters that could be used as guidelines for the placement of hooks and screws in the pedicles to obtain internal fixation. We also reviewed computerized tomographic scans of nKeywords
