The　aim　of　this　study　was　to　provide　morphological　data　of　endplates　for　the　redesign　of　cervical　artificial　disc　for　use　in　the　middle　and　lower　cervical　spine　(C3-C7).　Reformatted　CT　scans　of　73　individuals　were　analysed.　The　shapes　of　superior　endplates　(SEPs)　and　inferior　endplates　(IEPs)　were　classified　as　either　flat　or　arced.　The　curvature　radius　of　the　IEP　and　sagittal　disc　angle　were　measured　in　the　mid-sagittal　plane.　The　maximum　transverse　diameter　(MTD)　of　the　SEPs　and　IEP　was　measured　in　the　coronal　plane.　The　majority　of　SEPs　were　flat　(79.5　%　at　C7　and　91.8-95.9　%　at　C3-C6).　Almost　all　(98.6-100　%)　IEPs　were　arced.　The　curvature　radius　has　a　gradually　increasing　trend　from　C3　to　C6　(P　＜　0.05,　mean　29.26　mm).　There　were　significant　differences　at　C3-C7　in　the　average　sagittal　disc　angles　(5.80A　degrees,　6.92A　degrees,　7.51A　degrees,　and　8.82A　degrees,　respectively;　P　＜　0.05;　mean　7.26A　degrees),　the　average　MTDs　of　the　SEPs　(13.64,　14.42,　15.03,　and　16.74　mm,　respectively,　P　＜　0.05;　mean　14.96　mm)　and　the　average　MTD　of　the　IEPs　(16.77,　17.67,　19.15,　and　21.66　mm,　respectively;　P　＜　0.05;　mean　18.81　mm).　The　majority　of　SEPs　were　flat,　while　almost　all　IEPs　were　curved.　The　curvature　radius　of　IEPs　has　a　gradually　increasing　trend　from　C3　to　C6.　The　average　sagittal　disc　angles,　MTDs　of　the　SEPs　and　IEPs　significantly　increased　from　C3　to　C7.　Based　on　the　above,　the　current　cervical　artificial　disc　design　does　not　sufficiently　match　the　morphology　of　cervical　endplates　(CEPs).　This　mismatch　may　lead　to　some　postoperative　complications　of　cervical　disc　arthroplasty.
