Objective: To measure anatomical parameters related to cervical uncovertebral joint and provide data support for the design of uncovertebral joint fusion cage. Methods: According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, raw DICOM data of cervical CT scan in 60 patients (30 males and 30 females, aged 39-60 years) were obtained, then the three-dimensional cervical spine model was reconstructed for anatomical measurement by using the Mimics19.0 software. The height of the uncinate process, the length of the uncinate process, the width of the uncinate process, and the length of the uncovertebral joint in the intervertebral foramen region were measured bilaterally from C3 to C7 ...
