C1-C2 fusion: postoperative C2 nerve impingement—is it a problem?
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this comparison case study is to show a potential complication associated with atlantoaxial fusion, and the preoperative evaluation that could help to avoid it. BACKGROUND DATA The use of lateral mass screw fixation in atlantoaxial fusion has provided surgeons the ability to create rigid fixation, with a high success rate of fusion. While the use of screws for fixat...
متن کاملRetrodental synovial cyst which disappeared after posterior C1-C2 fusion: A case report.
Synovial cysts of the cervical spine are extremely rare. We describe an 8-year-old boy with atlantoaxial subluxation and hypoplasia of the dens. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a round lesion, posterior to the odontoid process. This mass was characterized by a low signal intensity on T1-weighted images, and high signal intensity on T2-weighted images. The retrodental synovial cyst disappeared...
متن کاملBiomechanical comparison of C1-C2 posterior arthrodesis techniques.
STUDY DESIGN Biomechanical comparison of 5 atlantoaxial posterior arthrodesis techniques. OBJECTIVE To assess the relative value of different posterior wire constructs when one or two transarticular screws are used. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA A combination of Gallie or Brooks techniques and 2 posterior transarticular screws has been shown to be effective for atlantoaxial arthrodesis. Anatom...
متن کاملClinical Outcomes of Posterior C2-C3 Fixation for Unstable Hangman's Fracture Compared with Posterior C1-C3 Fusion
OBJECTIVE To verify the clinical outcomes of posterior C2-C3 fixation for unstable Hangman's fracture compared with posterior C1-C3 fixation. METHODS Twenty four patients for unstable Hangman's fracture were enrolled between July 2007 and June 2010 in this study. Thirteen patients underwent posterior C2-C3 fusion and 11 patients underwent posterior C1-C3 fusion. Clinical outcomes were evaluat...
متن کاملImproving C1-C2 Complex Fusion Rates: An Alternate Approach
The surgical repair of atlantoaxial instabilities (AAI) presents complex and unique challenges, originating from abnormalities and/or trauma within the junction regions of the C1-C2 atlas-axis, to surgeons. When this region is destabilized, surgical fusion becomes of key importance in order to prevent spinal cord injury. Several techniques can be utilized to provide for the adequate fusion of t...
