Abstract

Anomalies of the cervical vertebrae affect their function. Fusion of vertebrae is one such   anomaly in which the two vertebrae appear structurally and functionally as single one. This  study, aimed to find the incidence of the fusion of the cervical vertebrae, examined 200 dry adult cervical vertebrae of either sex in the Department of Anatomy, NRI Medical College, Andhra Pradesh, India. The clinical significance of this study has been thus discussed.
