Abstract
Aim – to study the dynamics of pubic symphysis parameters in men in the early adulthood, early and middle old age according to computed tomography (CT) data.
Material and methods. In the study, we used the results of a CT examination of 80 men without bone or pelvic organ pathology. All participants gave their consent to routine examination to exclude possible pathology of the pelvic bones. The CT investigation included the measurement of the height, width and thickness of the pubic symphysis in 3D reconstruction mode. The subjects were divided into three groups according to anatomical age classification. The first group included 25 early adulthood men (21 to 35 years old); the second group included 29 early old age men (56 to 74 years old); the third group included 26 middle old age men (75 to 88 years old).
Results. When comparing the parameters of height, width and thickness of the pubic symphysis, their statistically significant decrease by middle old age was revealed. Its height decreased from the early adulthood to early old age by 7.1% (t = 12.82, p < 0.01) and further remained unchanged in middle old age. The width of the pubic symphysis was decreasing by 22.7% (t = 8.3, p < 0.01) from the early adulthood to early old age and by 26.5% (t = 8.32, p < 0.01) from early to middle old age. The symphysis thickness was growing from the early adulthood to early old age by 6.4% (t = 6.10, p < 0.01) and from early to middle old age – by 1.1% (t = 1.08, p > 0.05).
Conclusion. The results obtained in this study can be helpful for doctors of such specialties as traumatology, sports medicine and rehabilitation, forensic science, forensic medicine and many others.
