The human vertebral column plays an important role in stability and weight transmission [1]. It is adapted to protect the spinal cord. Congenital or acquired anomalies are common in the vertebral column [1]. At the same time the vertebral column is the site for many orthopedic disorders which may be pathological or developmental, leading to instability, kyphosis, low back pain[1], scoliosis, Forestier__ampersandsignrsquo;s disease[4], Bechterew__ampersandsignrsquo;s disease[6], Ankylosing spondylitis[1] and myelopathy[3].&#13;
