摘要

Abstract This study aimed at quantifying trabecular volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) at the external occipital protuberance (EOP) and the upper cervical spine. A retrospective review of patients who underwent non‐contrast enhanced computed tomography of the cervical spine that included the occipital bone up to the EOP between 2007 and 2020 was conducted. Measurements of trabecular vBMD were performed in the occipital midline area, with the region of interest extending 4.5?mm above and below the center of the EOP, as well as the C1 lateral masses and the C2 vertebral body using asynchronous quantitative computed tomography. Eighty‐six patients (female, 37.2) were included for analysis. The patient population was 81.4 Caucasian with a mean ± SD age of 62.3?±?13.1 years. Total bone thickness at the EOP was 16.7?±?3.4?mm, with a ratio of trabecular to total bone thickness of 0.44. Trabecular vBMD (mean?±?SD) was significantly higher at the EOP than at C1 and C2 (EOP?=?612.3?±?145.8?mg/cm3, C1 average?=?290.3?±?66.5?mg/cm3, C2?=?305.8?±?78.8?mg/cm3; p??65 years of age, cervical vBMD was significantly lower, but remained high at the EOP. Clinical significance: Trabecular vBMD at the EOP is significantly higher than at the upper cervical vertebrae and remains high in older populations. Together with morphological information about the occipital bone, these results might be helpful for occipitocervical fixation when deciding about uni‐ or bicortical screw placement at the EOP.
