Sagittal radiograph showing a the segmental angle (SA) between the borders of endplates above and below the affected segment. b the cervical sagittal angle (CSA) formed between the lower endplate of C2 and C7. The height of anterior (HAB) and posterior border (HPB) were measured as the distance between the anterior and posterior points of the upper endplate of the superior vertebra and the lower endplate of the inferior vertebra. c The height of anterior (HAE) and posterior endplate (HPE) were measured as the distance between the anterior and posterior points of the lower endplate of the superior vertebra and the upper endplate of the inferior vertebra. d The alignment of TMC was defined as the angle formed between the central axis of TMC and the line through the midpoints of both endplates of adjacent vertebrae
