Abstract

Introduction: Vertebral column is called a spinal column which protects the spinal cord, provides attachment to muscles, supports the trunk (etc). Fused C6 and C7 bones cause loss of neck movement, high risk of fracture due to which it leads to nerve compression causing the forelimbs to be affected ( paralysis and anesthesia). The intention of this osteology based study was to estimate the C6 and C7 bone and its clinical implications.
