Résumé
With the advent and increased usage of posterior, lateral, and anterior surgical approaches to the craniocervical junction (CCJ), it is essential to have a sound understanding of the osseous, ligamentous, and neurovascular layers of this region as well as their three-dimensional (3D) orientations and functional kinematics. Advances in 3D technology can be leveraged to develop a more nuanced and comprehensive understanding of the CCJ, classically depicted via dissections and sketches. As such, this study aims to illustrate - with the use of 3D technologies - the major anatomical landmarks of the CCJ in an innovative and informative way. Photogrammetry, structured light scanning, and 3D reconstruction of medical images were used to generate these high-resolution volumetric models. A clear knowledge of the critical anatomical structures and morphometrics of the CCJ is crucial for the diagnosis, classification, and treatment of pathologies in this transitional region.
