| Popis: | The human occipital condyle (OC) is the bony structure connecting the base of the cranium to the atlas vertebra to form the atlantooccipital joint. The occipital condyles are bilateral inferior extensions of the occipital bones it’s present on the lateral aspect of the foramen magnum. This study aims to document the various dimensions of occipital condyles which is important to joint biomechanics rehabilitations, neurologists & orthopaedic surgeons. The study was done on 60 skulls of unknown sex where different parameters of the occipital condyles were observed like length, breadth, anterior & posterior intercondylar distance were measured. Measurements of right-side occipital condyles length and breadth were found 22.62 mm and 13.06 mm respectively, whereas left side length and breadth were found 22.72mm & 13.46mm respectively. The documented morphometric values of the occipital condyles are useful for a better understanding of joint biomechanics & occipital surgeries. |
