Early morbidity and mortality associated with elderly odontoid fractures.
Odontoid fracture treatment is well documented, but challenges remain in treating these fractures in elderly patients. Issues include identifying the optimal treatment for bony union, determining the stability of a nonunion, and understanding the long-term consequences of nonunion. In elderly patients, the focus tends to shift to morbidity and mortality.This retrospective review describes the e...
متن کاملMorbidity and Mortality of Bilateral Femur Fractures.
Bilateral femur fractures have been associated with frequent morbidity and mortality. Associated injuries and massive hemorrhage contributed to mortality rates that were as high as 27% in previous reports. The goals of this study were to determine the frequency of associated complications, including mortality, and to identify which patient and injury features are associated with increased morbi...

متن کامل[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...
