Abstract :Aims: The purpose of this study is to assess the architecture and clinical importance of the sacrum, which features the dorsal and pelvic nerves. Methods: 32 os sacrum of adult Anatolians of undetermined gender were measured for this investigation. Sacrum maximum length, os sacrum maximum width, sacrum I vertebral body antero-posterior width, sacrum I vertebral body transverse width, sacral index, Auricular surface short arm, auricular surface long arm and auricular surface oblique arm, the measurements of pelvic surface linea transverse length and, the measurements of dorsal surface linea transverse length and the sacrum height from the dorsal surface are evaluated. Results: Sacrum maximum length 103.30±10.03 mm, sacrum maximum width 108.40±6.10 mm, sacrum I vertebral body transverse width 47.00±5.00 mm, sacrum I vertebral body antero-posterior width 28.30±3.50 mm, sacral index 104.00±9.00, Auricular surface short arm 31.90±4.20 mm, Auricular surface long arm 39.40±4.80 mm, Auricular surface oblique arm 49.10±6.00 mm, the length measurements of dorsal surface distance respectively as mm; 36.72±0.37, 29.75±0.31, 26.53±0.33, 26.56±0.39, the length measurements of dorsal surface distance respectively as mm; 29.16±0.36, 27.16±0.33, 24.50±0.26, 24.38±0.24 and the sacrum height from the dorsal surface as 103.4±9.70 mm were calculated. Conclusion: Clinically stated, understanding the architecture of the sacrum and taking morphometric measures of it are crucial to avoiding difficulties and the surgical intervention that will be used to treat disorders associated to the sacrum.
