Atlantoaxial Fixation—Anterior or Posterior Approach: Critical Review
Atlantoaxial facet joints have been proposed as the center of mobility and also center for instability of the atlantoaxial region. Because of the high mobility of the atlantoaxial (C1-C2) motion segment, fusion rates at this level have been substantially lower than those at the subaxial spine. The success of craniovertebral junction surgery depends on adequate reduction, decompression of cranio...
متن کاملRetro-Odontoid Pseudotumor without Atlantoaxial Subluxation or Rheumatic Arthritis
We present a case of retro-odontoid pseudotumor (ROP) without rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or atlantoaxial subluxation (AAS). A 76-year-old woman presented with paresthesia and weakness of both lower and upper extremities. She had no laboratory or physical findings of RA. Dynamic X-ray showed no AAS and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a retro-odontoid mass compressing the spinal cord. Tran...
متن کاملMR imaging of fatal atlantoaxial dislocation caused by retropharyngeal abscess.
A 9-month-old girl was evaluated in our emergency room for 1 03°F fever and decreased activity. Three weeks earlier, at another hospital , the patient had been treated with antibiotics and skin grafting for secondand third-degree scald burns. On the current admission, a nonfluctuant neck swelling was noted, but otherwise the results of the physical and neurologic examinations were normal. WBC w...
متن کاملSurgical Management of Irreducible Atlantoaxial Dislocation
The classification and treatment of atlantoaxial dislocations (AAD) remains controversial. Despite existing debate among the literature, it is generally accepted that the treatment of symptomatic AAD should be surgical reduction and fixation. More recently, there has also been acknowledgement among treating surgeons that there are substantial differences between irreducible and reducible AAD, w...
متن کاملAnterior approach according to Ganz--surgical dislocation of hip joint.
The surgical technique of an anterior approach to the hip joint according to Ganz is described. The procedure preserves the deep branch of the medial circumflex artery, which, combined with greater trochanter osteotomy, allows for safe hip joint dislocation without a risk of avascular necrosis of the femoral head. This approach makes it possible to inspect the femoral head and the entire acetab...
