Posterior occipito cervical decompression with fixation and fusion in Cranio vertebral junction compression
Objective To find out the clinical outcome of posterior decompression with occipitocervical fixation and fusion in patients with Craniovertebral junction instability. Methods Eighty consecutive patients of cranio vertebral junction (CVJ) compression were treated in the department of neurosurgery, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC), Karachi over a period of 05 years from 1st January 201...
متن کاملOccipito-cervical fusion. Indications, technique and results.
Fusion ofthe occiput to the upper cervical spine is an uncommon but important operation as it is the only means ofpermanently stabilising the interveningjoints. Instability ofthe atlas or axis on the remainder of the cervical spine is dangerous, and if it progresses to subluxation or dislocation there is a risk of damage to the medulla, spinal cord and nerve roots. Fusion may be required for pr...
متن کاملOccipito-cervical fusion. An operative technique and its indications.
discussion by orthopaedic surgeons and rheumatologists. There is not only difference of opinion about the indications for stabilisation, but a deep division amongst surgeons about the necessity for inclusion ofthe occiput in the fusion. Theoretically there seems little justification for it ifthe displacement is between the atlas and axis (C.l-2). Yet many surgeons, the authors included, are con...
متن کاملSuccessful cranio-cervical fusion in a patient with Down syndrome.
We present a patient with Down syndrome with neck pain and severe cervical myelopathy. Imaging revealed occipito-atlantal and atlanto-axial instability with severe spinal cord compression. There are no standardized radiological or clinical guidelines to aid in managing this unique subset of patients. We demonstrate a successful occiput-C3 internal fixation and fusion without complication. Due t...
متن کاملNew Radiographic Index for Occipito-Cervical Instability
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. PURPOSE To propose a new radiographic index for occipito-cervical instability. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Symptomatic atlanto-occipital instability requires the fusion of the atlanto-occipital joint. However, measurements of occipito-cervical translation using the Wiesel-Rothman technique, Power's ratio, and basion-axial interval are unreliable because the radi...
