Atlanto-axial fusion with transarticular screw fixation.
We reviewed 161 patients, from four centres in Switzerland, who had undergone posterior fusion of the upper cervical spine with transarticular screw fixation of the atlanto-axial joints. They were followed up for a mean 24.6 months. The vertebral artery and the medulla escaped injury and only 5.9% of the complications were directly related to the screws. The rate of pseudarthrosis was 0.6%.
متن کاملTransoral decompression and posterior fusion for rheumatoid atlanto-axial subluxation.
Cervical myelopathy is an uncommon but potentially fatal complication of rheumatoid atlanto-axial subluxation. Computerised myelotomography with three-dimensional reconstruction shows that rheumatoid pannus, together with the odontoid peg, contributes significantly to anterior cervico-medullary compression. These findings were the basis for treatment by transoral anterior decompression and post...
متن کاملAtlanto-Axial Instability in Adults with Down's Syndrome
A survey was performed on the patients with Down's syndrome living in three long-stay hospitals for the mentally handicapped in Bristol. Each patient had a chromosomal analysis, lateral X-rays of the cervical spine in flexion and extension and subsequent measurement of the atlanto-odontoid distance, and a neurological examination. Out of a total of 59 patients, with ages ranging from 23 to 65 y...
متن کاملChronic Atlanto-Axial Instability in Down Syndrome*f
We studied the radiographs of thirtytwo patients with Down syndrome for evidence of atlanto-axial instability. One of the patients had instability in 1970 and seven had it in 1983. The interval between the atlas and the odontoid process in the patients who demonstrated motion at that interval radiographically averaged 2.78 millimeters in 1970 and 6.93 millimeters in 1983 (p < 0.005). Four patie...
متن کاملSurgical stabilization of the atlanto-occipital overlap with atlanto-axial instability in a dog.
The atlanto-occipital (AO) overlap in combination with atlanto-axial (AA) instability was found in a dog. We hypothesized that ventral fixation of the AA junction can stabilize the atlas and prevent AO overlap by reviewing our past cases with AA instability. A standard ventral fixation of the AA junction using stainless k-wires and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) was performed. The dog fully rec...
