Surgical Management of Acute Odontoid Fractures:
Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of surgery for odontoid fractures and to study surgical mortality, surgical morbidity and long-term outcome in a large, contemporary, consecutive, single institution, surgical series of odontoid fractures. Methods: This is a retrospective study of all odontoid fractures treated by open surgery at our hospital during 2002–2009....
متن کاملCurrent Management of Odontoid Fractures
The C1-2 complex allows far more motion than any other single level in the cervical spine. This motion is predominantly rotational, since translational motion at C1C2 is limited by the strong transverse ligament. This restriction is lost after fracture of the odontoid and may be associated with anteroor retrolisthesis of the C1-C2 complex in relation to the C2 body. This may result in spinal co...
متن کاملComplication Avoidance and Management Using the O-arm for Odontoid Screw Fixation: Technical Note
Objective: Odontoid screw fixation is an accepted surgical approach for Type 2 odontoid fractures with an intact transverse ligament. Typically, intraoperative bi-planar flouroscopy is used for placement of an odontoid screw. However, the quality of the images obtained with bi-planar fluoroscopy in the operating room is variable (due to patient body habitus) and screws may be misplaced. We repo...
