[Anterior osteosynthesis of odontoid fractures].
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The conservative treatment of an odontoid fracture with immobilization in a halo-vest or collar often results in pseudoarthrosis. Therefore, surgical treatment is preferred, and the Magerl-Böhler anterior osteosynthesis of the C2 dens is one of the options for achieving good bony union. The aim of this study was to show that the success of reducing an odontoid fracture is r...
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 کاملFunctional and Radiographic Outcomes of Geriatric Odontoid Fractures Treated with Rigid Collar or Posterior Fusion
INTRODUCTION: Controversy exists as to the most effective management option for elderly patients with type II odontoid fractures. Furthermore, outcomes for those patients who do not achieve fusion or fracture healing after treatment remain unclear in the literature. The purpose of this study is to evaluate fracture healing rates, functional outcomes, complications, and mortality associated with...
متن کاملSurgical 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 کامل8 Microsurgical Treatment of Odontoid Fractures
The first two cervical vertebrae, C1 and C2, are also known as the atlas and axis, respectively. The odontoid process of C2, also known as the dens, is the superiorly projecting bony prominence from the body of C2 that sits within the anterior portion of the ring of C2. C1 rotates around this. Anterior odontoid screw fixation involves the reduction and stabilization of an odontoid fracture usin...
