AB  - BACKGROUND: Coccydynia is one of the most overlooked symptoms in daily clinical 
      practice. Definitions for radiologic evaluation are controversial. OBJECTIVES: We 
      aimed to compare the morphology and morphometric measurements of the 
      sacrococcygeal region with those of a healthy population to support radiologic 
      decision-making. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In total, 26 traumatic and 50 idiopathic 
      cases of coccydynia as well as 74 healthy control cases were retrospectively 
      compared. The morphologic type of the coccyx, the presence of fusion, and the 
      number of coccygeal segments were evaluated in both groups. Morphometric 
      parameters such as sacrococcygeal angle (SCA), sacrococcygeal joint angle (SCJA), 
      intercoccygeal angle (ICA), sacral slope (SS), coccyx curved length (CCL), sacrum 
      curved length (SCL), coccyx length (CL), sacrum length (SL), and sacrococcygeal 
      total length (SCTL) were investigated. RESULTS: Significant differences were 
      found between the coccydynia group and the healthy control group in morphologic 
      parameters such as female gender, coccyx segment, coccyx morphology, presence of 
      sacrococcygeal joint, and segment of sacrococcygeal joint fusion (p < 0.05). In 
      morphologic measurements, SCJA, SCL, SL, coccyx and sacrum curvature indexes were 
      significantly increased (p < 0.05). No significant difference was found in the 
      morphologic and morphometric parameters evaluated when compared with the duration 
      of coccydynia (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: An increase in the SCJA, SCL, SL, SCI, and 
      coccyx curvature index measurements predisposes to coccydynia. It would be more 
      accurate to perform radiological evaluation by familiarization with these 
      morphologic and morphometric parameters.
