Objective.
The aim of this comparative anatomical study was to specifically investigate endplate morphology differences between Chinese and White men and women.
Materials and Methods.
Three-dimensional cervical endplate models were constructed using computed tomography imaging of 41 healthy Chinese and 24 White subjects.
The morphologic measurements of cervical endplate included linear parameters (EPWu: upper endplate width; EPDu: upper endplate depth; EPWl: lower endplate width; and EPDl: lower endplate depth) and area parameters with a digital measuring system.
Results.
All linear parameters showed a constant increase from C3 to C7 except for EPDl in both the Chinese and the White subjects.
An increase trend was observed on area parameters in both Chinese and White subjects.
The ratio of EPWl/EPDl was smaller in Chinese females than in White females at C3, C4, and C6 levels (P<0.05).
The ratio of EPWl/EPDl was significantly different between the Chinese and White men at C4-5 levels (P<0.05).
Conclusions.
Our data indicates that the morphology of subaxial cervical spine endplates between Chinese and White men and women is different in most of the linear and area parameters.
This information could provide guidelines for the design of CDA implants and the improvement of surgical techniques.
