Interpedicular distance of lumbar spinal canal is measured in plain anteroposteior radiographs of 300 adult subjects ( 150 males &150 females) of known sex and age between 25 to 40 years from sonepat district. The aim of this work is to study interpedicular distance of normal lumbar spinal canal to know whether there are regional, ethnic or racial variations and also to know radiographical measurements of spinal canal from normal lumbar vertebrae. We found that mean transverse diameter of spinal canal goes on increasing from L1 to L5 both in males and females. North Indians have greater IPD at all lavel from L1 to L5 than that of haryanvis subjects. So present study confirms that there is ethnic as well as racial variation in size of lumbar spinal canal. Interpedicular distance of females is less as compared to the males at all vertebral levels in haryanvis subjects. So this study is essential to have normal values and ranges for the transverse diameter of lumbar spinal canal for different populations.
